A monitor and keyboard that displays information only (as opposed to the processing capability of a PC); usually connected to a mainframe
A terminal that doesn't contain an internal microprocessor It responds to simple control codes, and usually displays only characters and numerals
A keyboard and screen used to input data to and receive data from a host computer So named because it cannot process anything without the assistance of the main computer
(n ) A terminal that lacks any local processing capability Also called a TTY terminal
A terminal that passively serves for input or output but performs no local processing
A terminal that has no processing power of its own It usually does'nt have any nice options either, like mice or screens that can do graphics
A terminal that has no significant processor, memory,or secondary storage of its own and that can not be used as a computer by itself E
when a computer is running a terminal emulation program while connected to another computer
a display device with attached keyboard that relies on the intelligence of another computer to drive its display and interpret its keyboard inputs Such devices were the norm in the heyday of the mainframe and minicomputer and are still widely used for reservation systems, point of sale, and other specialized-use applications
a terminal which cannot store or process data
This a video screen that is seeing manipulation in another computer Example: If you log in to AOL, your computer is not doing the work -- AOL's computer is You are just being offered a window into that world That window is your screen It's a terminal, but it's just watching -- thus a dumb terminal
A screen and a keyboard and not much else Dumb terminals connect to other computers and use their data and their computing When you use your computer to dial in to another computer (ignoring SLIP and PPP connections for the moment), your computer generally acts like a dumb terminal and relies on the computer you've dialed in to for processing the requests you make
A dumb terminal is a device that can send and receive data but cannot process data
An output device (not a computer) that contains no internal microprocessor; a display monitor with no processing capabilities
This a video screen that is seeing manipulation in another computer Example: When you log into your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your computer is not doing the work--your ISP's computer is You are just being offered a window into that world That window is your screen It is a terminal, but is just watching--thus a dumb terminal

don't have own file(computers)
{i} computer that is connected to a network and is unable to independently process data
A screen and keyboard used to access a host computer There are only enough electronics in a dumb terminal to interpret incoming instructions from the host computer to display characters on the screen, and to interpret keystrokes on the keyboard and pass them on to the host computer There is no actual "computer" in a terminal like this, and it cannot be programmed to run programs on its own, which is why it's called "dumb "
Simple CRT and keyboard with limited capabilities such as display and edit functions
An entry and display device that has no processing capability Used in networks based on central processing
A computer terminal that cannot be programmed to perform the "intelligent" tasks of a smart terminal
This a video screen that is seeing manipulation going on an another computer Example: If you log into AOL, your computer is not doing the work--AOL's computer is You are just being offered a window into that world That window is your screen It is a terminal, but is just watching--thus a dumb terminal
Refers to devices that are designed to communicate exclusively with a host (main frame) computer It receives all screen layouts from the host computer and sends all keyboard entry to the host It cannot function without the host computer
A terminal having no application processing capabilities of its own, such as IBM's 3270 terminal It relies on host-based programs for processing and control
