A dumb terminal is a simple device that relies on a central computer for processing and has no computational capabilities of its own; it primarily serves as an input/output interface. In contrast, an intelligent terminal has its own processing power and can perform tasks such as data manipulation or local computations, allowing it to operate independently to some extent. Additionally, intelligent terminals often support more complex user interfaces and can run applications locally, whereas dumb terminals are limited to displaying data and sending commands to the central system.
Dumb Terminal
dumb is slang for non-intellegent.
A simple terminal is able to accept character codes (commonly, ASCII) and produce characters limited to numbers, figures and punctuation. Limited graphics (ASCII art) may be used to enhance the presentation. Dumb terminals do not use complex hardware such as microprocessors to function. An intelligent terminal can, for instance, reposition its cursor to any point in the display and may allow editing of the presentation for re-sending. Intelligent terminals commonly use microprocessors to perform their functions. A thin client, acting as a terminal, loads operating code from a server and then offers advanced functions beyond those of a "dumb" terminal without needing all of the code to be stored in the thin client's memory.
The opposite of dumb is smart or intelligent.
Yes, a dumb terminal typically includes a keyboard, along with a screen for display. The keyboard allows users to input commands and data, while the terminal itself relies on a connected mainframe or server for processing and storage. Essentially, the dumb terminal functions as an interface between the user and the more powerful computing resources.

Advantages of dumb terminal no one person can misuse his power because his power is given by a main computer which is server.
