Terminals designed for a particular environment and business activity come under a general heading of application terminals. If the terminal has a built-in capability to store and manipulate data it is classed as an intelligent terminal; without this capability terminals are classed as dumb. 2.

One may also ask,
DUMB: A dumb terminal can be used only to input data to and receive information from a computer system. That is, it can’t do any processing on its own. SMART: A smart terminal can do input and output and has some limited processing capability.
