Well this was cute, in an old school, geeky kinda way :-D I can imagine a few nerds had a LOT of fun creating that. It certainly highlights how far technology has come, yet I imagine it involves a lot of complex programming knowledge to make something like that. Not MY forte, but I can certainly appreciate the skill involved. It does take me back to my childhood, playing "Space Invader" type video games on those old arcade machines! I can also appreciate the melding of mathematical/programming "left brain" type skills with creative, storytelling, and artistic "right brain" skills. Watching this for too long is rather hard on the eye, and I could only watch it for so long before fighting the urge to close my eyes to protect them from the harsh glare. Certainly, useability uissues would have been one reason why developers of such applications needed to srtive to create new, more user friendly, visually appealing mediums.Monday, March 24, 2008
Module 1, Task B
Module 1, Task B: Record your reflections of your experiences and thoughts about blinkinlights in your learning log! What do you think about Telnet now? Think about histories and creativity - think about technical needs or technical issues and problems... and how they might mutate to produce new applications, new needs or movements!
