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.
