NET11: Module 1 - Telnet Task B

Second task was to type towel.blinkenlights.nl into telnet because apparently I'd be 'doing myself a favour'. Opening credits, yeah yeah can see them anywhere, then next thing I know it's STAR WARS Telnet style! It was a great example of waaay to much time on your hands but well worth it, only problem was I kept wanting to hear the PEW! PEW! of the guns, oh well :(

The time invovled in creating something like that and the fact that it's all done with the symbols found on the keyboard is amazing. Having used Adobe Flash and made some (all be it simple) animations, I'm very thankful for the advancements that have been made. That being said everything has to start somewhere. It reminds me of the beginnings of modern gaming and how it all started with a simple game of ping pong. Now days the graphics are so advanced that it's sometimes hard to discern the real from the fake. Makes you wonder. If they can go from two moving lines and a square ball, to realistic warzones and entirely computer generated worlds in just 30 years, what will it be like in another 30 years?
