Block-oriented terminals are computer terminals that allow display and editing on "blocks" of the display instead of sending all data as a stream of characters in a fashion similar to a printer. These designs hand some of the editing task to the terminal itself, requiring more logic in the terminal but reducing the amount of processing needed on the host computer. They were mostly used with mainframe systems, notably IBM computers.
