A dumb terminal is a display screen and input device (often a keyboard) that has little to no processing capabilities. Instead, it relies entirely on a central computer (a mainframe) to process data and commands. Dumb terminals simply serve as an interface for users to interact with the central system.
Examples: Like PNR status checking booth at Railway stations. They have a Cathode Ray Tube (Screen), a Keyboard, or screen with touch input and gives the output on the screen.
