Blinking things tend to draw attention, and in the case of Blinky the
Cursor it's drawing your attention to the fact that there is nothing at
all to attend to.
No, it's drawing attention to:
1-point of focus
2-state ready to accept keyboard input, as opposed to lit up, but otherwise
useless
The blink for the reasons above is a tradition that dates back at least 45
years, probably a lot longer.
