On 23 May 1995, John Gage, the director of the Science Office of the Sun Microsystems along with Marc Andreesen, co-founder and executive vice president at Netscape announced to an audience of SunWorldTM that Java technology wasn't a myth and that it was a reality and that it was going to be incorporated into Netscape Navigator.
At the time the total number of people working on Java was less than 30. This team would shape the future in the next decade and no one had any idea as to what was in store. From being the mind of an unmanned vehicle on Mars to the operating environment on most of the consumer electronics, e.g. cable set-top boxes, VCRs, toasters and also for personal digital assistants (PDAs). Java has come a long way from its inception.
