Ray Kurzweil will keynote the JavaOne 2010 conference on Thursday, September 23 in San Francisco with a talk on “The Age of Embedded Computing Everywhere.” The talk will be at Moscone Center North Hall, Hall D at 9 a.m. PT. and will bewas streamed live and is also available lateravailable now on-demand.

“My key point will be how we are moving towards computing everywhere,” said Kurzweil. “When I was a student at MIT there was one computer shared by everyone (an IBM 7094 with 32K of 36 bit words and one quarter of a MIP of CPU power).  Now we have computers embedded in many devices in our homes, cars, on our bodies.

“This trend will continue. Over the next two decades, we will have many computerized devices inside our bodies both monitoring health functions and controlling artificial and augmented organs, and embedded in our brains providing realistic full-immersion virtual reality environments from within our nervous system and augmenting our intelligence. All the objects in our lives will become intelligent.”

JavaOne is a critical event for Java programmers and integrators worldwide. The Java programming language and computing platform, first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995, is the underlying technology powering a universe of state-of-the-art software programs including utilities, games, and business applications. Java runs on more than 850 million personal computers and on billions of devices globally, including mobile and TV devices. Java is integral to intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.
