Dumb Terminal

     A screen and keyboard used to access a host computer. There are only enough electronics in a DumbTerminal 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 system in a terminal like this, and it cannot be programmed to run programs on its own, which is why it's called Dumb!.
