13: Terminals: Talking to the machine

Jim takes us on a walk down memory lane!

Terminals have been around for a long time, probably much longer than you'd ever guess. Join us as we talk about the history of computer terminals and get a bit into how they work and how they've evolved into the amazing applications that we have today.
