Best Answer

he function of a terminal is confined to display and input of data; a device with significant local programmable data processing capability may be called a "smart terminal" or fat client. A terminal that depends on the host computer for its processing power is called a thin client. A personal computer can run software that emulates the function of a terminal, sometimes allowing concurrent use of local programs and access to a distant terminal host system.

What device is a terminal in computer?

A terminal is an I/O device. It accepts output from a mainframe and acts as input to a mainframe. A dumb terminal has no processing abilities. However, it allows you to enter data from it into a main computer, and it receives data from a main computer. In some cases, this arrangement is used to reduce costs.
