I love peoples text book answers. In normal words, telnet is used to remotley access an outside resource. Basically getting to the CLI (command line interface) of a machine. Telnet can be done locally as well as to a remote resource. Secure Shell (SSH) is taking over telnet, because all information passed over telnet is in plain text.

tel´net) (n.) A terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely control Web servers.

Telnet is actuall a protocol which defines the conventions to be used by two applications, which used to remotely execute the OS commands.

Telnet is also an application, which implements this protocol. When you type telnet, it asks you to enter the ip address of the remote system where you want to connect to.
