Can Your Digicam Do This?
Facing the skyrocketing popularity of digital cameras, a ragtag band of traditional photographers strike back! Using customized cameras and using 9"x18" negatives, they've produced a gallery of "ultra-high-resolution" prints. As in up to 10'x20' in size, and resolutions of up to 4ooo megapixels.
Why do this? Read on for a cool study in how 'older' technologies end up re-defining their roles. Radio didn't go away when television took over, but rather, it's role changed. How will early web technologies develop as time goes on? What will things like newsgroups and Telnet look like in 15 years?

This guy stitched together many, many pictures from a digital camera in order to achieve a similar effect.

I think telnet should die. I loved logging in to MOOs and BBSs via telnet, but there is no security whatsoever---your passwords are transmitted in plain text. Online snooping is on the rise, and more and more vital secrets are being transmitted via the internet. The only solution is to deploy strong protocols such as SSH.
