A computer terminal is a device used to send data or instructions to a computer and receive the results of the computation or output. It consists of a keyboard, display, optional printer, and a main unit which processes the commands. Traditionally, terminals delivered output to a teletype or similar device and read their input from a card reader. Nowadays, terminals are more likely to use graphical displays than the traditional text-based displays.
