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.
