An important thing about many #ComputerTerminal is that — a lot of them (probably most) could only display text!, and only in a single color!
(Although I suppose it is 2 colors, if you also count the dark color of the screen.)
(And also, the 1 color of different Computer Terminals could be a different color from each other.)
So the Computer Terminal world was very monochromatic & text oriented!

Back in the 1990s it was not uncommon to still see Computer Terminals in use.
A #ComputerTerminal kind of looks like a computer; but they aren't computers.
You can kind of think of them as a combined monitor & keyboard.
They connected to a computer located somewhere else.
Sometimes many Computer Terminals connected to the same computer.
