- intelligent terminal
A terminal (monitor and keyboard) that contains processing power. Intelligent terminals include memory and a processor to perform special display operations. In contrast, a dumb terminal has no processing capabilities; it must rely entirely on the central computer. A smart terminal has some processing capabilities, but not as much as an intelligent terminal.
- interactive
Accepting input from a human. Interactive computer systems are programs that allow users to enter data or commands. Most popular programs, such as word processors and spreadsheet applications, are interactive. A noninteractive program is one that, when started, continues without requiring human contact. A compiler is a noninteractive program, as are all batch processing applications.
- interblock gap
Same as interrecord gap.
- interconnect
An electrical or optical connection or cable that connects two separate devices. For example, the cable that connects your monitor or hard drive to the computer system is called an interconnect. A standard computer system will contain multiple interconnects.
