Terminal 10
Terminal 10 : A point at which a user can communicate direcdy with a computer both for the input and output of information. It is situated outside the computer system, often at some distance from it, and is linked to it by electric cable, telephone, or some other transmission channel. A keyboard, similar to that on a typewriter, is used to feed information to the computer. The output can either be printed out or can be displayed on a screen, as with a visual display unit. An interactive terminal is one connected to a computer, which gives an almost immediate response to an inquiry from the user. An intelligent terminal can store information and perform simple operations on it without the assistance of the computer's central processor. See also: input/output, visual display unit
