人类的欲望总是没有止尽的,在日常生活中如此、在技术发展中亦是如此。网络技术自诞生以来已经经历了数十年的风雨历程,人们在满足于它的成熟之后开始不满于它的笨拙与墨守成规。当 Plug and Play(即插即用)技术在 PC 上大行其道之时,总是走在技术最前端的专家们开始考虑类似技术在网络上的运用。于是1月25日我们见到了 Sun 公司推出的所渭的 Jini 技术的真实模样。其实与Sun 一样,微软、IBM、惠普以及朗讯等公司也在研制与 Jini 类似的 Universal Plugand Play(通用即插即用)、T Spaces、JetSend 和 Inferno 等技术,它们的目的只有一个——把从电灯开关到超级计算机 There is no end to human desires. This is true in daily life and in technological development. Since the birth of network technology, it has been going through decades of turmoil. After people are satisfied with its maturity, they begin to be dissatisfied with its awkwardness and ingenuity. When Plug and Play technology is popular on the PC, experts who are always at the forefront of technology begin to consider the use of similar technologies on the Internet. So on January 25th we saw the reality of the Jini technology that Sun introduced. In fact, like Sun, companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Lucent are also developing technologies such as Universal Plug and Play similar to Jini, T Spaces, JetSend and Inferno. Their purpose is only one - from Light switch to supercomputer
