'''Centralized computing''' is computing done at a central ___location, using [[terminal]]s that are attached to a central computer. The computer itself may control all the [[peripheral]]s directly (if they are physically connected to the central computer), or they may be attached via a [[terminal server]]. Alternatively, if the terminals have the capability, they may be able to connect to the central computer over the network. The terminals may be [[text terminal]]s or [[thin client]]s, for example.
