I know.... I should have put this blog up awhile ago. But I've be very busy.....Sorry:)...
I did not know much regarding Telnet, so this module gave me a basic understanding regarding its histroy.
My understanding of the background of this application was that it was basically the first application to enable people at a location remote from a computer to log in directly to that computer, without actually being physically present with it, and being able to give that computer commands/instructions.
These days Telnet is not really used, but does still provide people with a very important capacity to treat distant computers as if they were 'on their desktop'.
These days anyone who has Internet access through an Internet Service Provider has a 'little bit' of the computer that serves the Internet to them (from the ISP) which is like their own computer.
I found this application somewhat interesting when I played around with it. Yes definitely a useful traditional information system for 'information seekers.' Anyway learning about this application gave me a useful insight and respect for 'Telnet.'
