After I telnetted to towel.blinkenlights.nl I have changed my opinion slightly on telnet. In my first task I expressed that telnet seemed as though it was just away of retrieving information. After viewing this telnet site I have been proven wrong and have discovered that it can also be used for entertainment. This site has enabled me able to enjoy telnet a little bit more but I would prefer to stick to the web.
One of the concepts is the persistence of history which discusses the use of all applications of the internet to further the development of the internet and its uses. Although Telnet is mostly unheard of today due to the application of the World Wide Web it is still seen as an important application to improve the internet today. The site that has just been viewed was used for entertainment and would have been quite sophisticated for its time. This does not mean that it is old fashioned it means that it has been used to advance entertainment on the internet. Telnet would have provided a framework and base for internet applications such as the World Wide Web. Therefore Telnet is not old fashioned it has just been advanced to another level. Sites like this Telnet site would have prompted an even greater creativity amongst users. Humans are constantly attempting to improve the applications that are being used. This may arise for a number of reasons. After viewing sites like the one just viewed ideas there would have been some that want better the site or use their own creative ideas to create a site. Problems may arise when attempting this. The program and technology may not have allowed the creator to do exactly what they wanted. This then would encourage a new way of thinking and as a result a new application can be made in order to achieve the desired outcome.

Task 1 - Telnet
The experience of using telnet was quite a stressful one. At first things were not quite working for me and I was a little confused as to how I could actually achieve the task. After a couple of hours I finally worked it out and once I had done it I realised that the task really should have only taken five minutes instead of a couple of hours. The results I achieved are below:
TITLE Managed care : financial, legal, and ethical issues / edited by David A. Bennahum.PUBLISHED Cleveland, OH : Pilgrim Press, 1999. Fla.)
TITLE Dance & community : Congress on Research in Dance, Spring 2005 conference, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida / [Ninotchka Bennahum & Tresa M. Randall, co-editors]PUBLISHED New York, NY : Produced by the Print Center, Inc., c2005.
When I had finally completed the task I was amazed by how it worked. During the times when the web was not available this would have been great way to seek information. The concept ‘Human-computer interfaces’ discusses the issue that the internet gives the illusion that humans and computers are the same. With regards to Telnet I do not think this would be as evident as it would be with the web today. Telnet is formatted in a very simple and plain way, which is easy to use and is solely used for data and information gathering. Whereas the web is used for a variety of reasons and the programs are much more sophisticated. As a result of the web the internet provides a way of life for people. Today a person can not leave the home, through the internet they can interact, buy groceries, clothes and much more. As a result the internet is lessening the recognition of the difference between humans and computers but I do not think that Telnet has this same effect like the web does.
