terminal
In computing, a device consisting of a keyboard and display screen (VDU) to enable the operator to communicate with the computer. The terminal may be physically attached to the computer or linked to it by a telephone line (remote terminal). A dumb terminal has no processor of its own, whereas an intelligent terminal has its own processor and takes some of the processing load away from the main computer.
