As the technology of the world continues to progress, so do the video games we play. From MMORPGs to motion detection controllers, video game technology has provided us with greater experiences. Even after games are made, the maker can easily communicate with the players through mediums, such as the internet, and create game updates to ensure an ever progressing experience. Technology has improved the way we play games (graphics, wireless controllers, etc.) and who we play them with (more controller sockets, internet based games); however, I personally feel today’s society has forgotten the games of our youth, games which can provide as much fun as modern games (WOW, Call of Duty, Gears of War) without hindering one’s social life. I Realize that those games don’t “last” as long as today’s technologically improved works of art, but the large plurality of those games in existence provided an infinite amount of strong doses filled with nothing else but pure fun. So, if I were you right now, I would close that computer screen, put down that wireless remote, call a friend over, and play some Mario Kart for old times sake.

Java is such a great language and platform for any kind of application. It is open, fast, powerful, runs on any platform, and there are more jobs for Java than any other programming language. After reading more FUD and Java bashing from Ruby land I thought it would be fun to put together a list of truly amazing uses of Java that covers a wide spectrum.

10 - Sun SPOT

The Sun SPOT Device is a small, wireless, battery powered experimental platform. It is programmed almost entirely in Java to allow regular programmers to create projects that used to require specialized embedded system development skills. The hardware platform includes a range of built-in sensors as well as the ability to easily interface to external devices. The SPOT Development Kit contains two complete, free-range Sun SPOTs (with processor, radio, sensor board and battery) and one basestation Sun SPOT (with processor and radio). Also included are all the software development tools and cables required to start developing applications for your Sun SPOT.
