Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and a driving force behind the creation of Berkeley Unix and Java, among other technologies, said the explosion in devices like cell phones, PDAs and other wireless gadgets connected to the Web is radically changing the technology industry.
He calls that phenomenon the “here” Web, because the Internet is always “here, because you access it through a device you always carry.” Joy, now a partner with the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, made his remarks at Technology Review’s Emerging Technology Conference here Thursday.

Having went through a disaster I know what it’s like to loose your home. The tornado of 2002 took care of that for me. Believe me it’s not a situation you would want to be in. Now there are literally thousands without shelter, food, water, clothing, and they definitely need our help. The reason I choose the Redcross as an organization to donate to is because in the first several days/weeks they were there first for me. They provided food, bottled water, shovels, clothes, gloves, and even provided you a hotel if you didn’t have anyone to turn to. Luckily FEMA stepped in and helped too, but it was at a later date. Redcross was there first!
This was an American city that was destroyed. These are Americans who lived there. These are Americans who lost loved ones there. These are Americans who need our help!
Sincerely,
