Whilst Task A of Telnet was interesting, Task B’s blinkenlights was great. I may be only one of a few who think this, but was surprised to find out that this was on my computer.
In considering that Telnet was a method of connecting computers across the Internet, the images that the blinkenlights displays on Telnet are amazing in terms that the typed commands which created the star war images formed part of the bases that worked towards the development of graphic images that now have evolved and are part of everyday internet communications.
Readings about Telnet has shown that there are security concerns in that messages are not encrypted and that information can be accessed readily by others. Therefore its use has become limited with the requirement that information provided and accessed through the Internet needs to be secure.
