A dumb terminal refers to a CRT and keyboard that have no processing power of their own. It is simply an input and output device wired into another computer. It was common in the days of the mainframe, to allow many users to interface with a single computer relatively inexpensively. It can also be referred to as the ultimate in 'thin client.' All of the functions, activities and work were done on the main computer.
