It was a teletype printer with keyboard on it.

一台带有键盘的电传打字机。

These virtual teletype or glass teletype machines became known as terminals.

这些虚拟电传打字机或玻璃电传打字机被称为终端。

He's on your teletype, if you ever read it.

他在你的电传打字机上， 如果你读过的话。

In junior high school, Dell came across an early teletype terminal.

初中时，戴尔遇到了早期的电传打字机终端。

We got him on the teletype and they got readers out.

Electromechanical teletype machines were the primary computing interface for most users up until around the 1970s.

直到 1970 年代左右，机电电传打字机一直是大多数用户的主要计算接口。

Instead, early computers adapted a special type of typewriter that was used for telegraphs, called a teletype machine.

相反，早期的计算机采用了一种用于电报的特殊类型的打字机，称为电传打字机。

Command Line interaction on a teletype machine looks something like this.

电传打字机上的命令行交互看起来像这样。

But, rather than build a whole new standard to interface computers with these screens, engineers simply recycled the existing text-only, teletype protocol.

但是，工程师们并没有建立一个全新的标准来将计算机与这些屏幕连接起来，而是简单地回收了现有的纯文本电传打字协议。

Over the past five episodes, we’ve worked up from text-based teletype interfaces to pixelated bitmapped graphics.

在过去的五集中，我们已经从基于文本的电传打字界面发展到像素化位图图形。

You can see a cabinet-sized computer on the left, an electromechanical teletype machine in the middle, and around screen on the right.

左边是柜式电脑，中间是机电电传打字机，右边是环绕屏幕。

By 1971, it was estimated, in the United States, there was something on the order of 70,000 electro-mechanical teletype machines and 70,000 screen-based terminals in use.

据估计，到 1971 年，美国大约有 70,000 台机电电传打字机和 70,000 台屏幕终端在使用。

Since these teletype machines already had an electronic interface, they were easily adapted for computer use, and teletype computer interfaces were common in the 1960s and 70s.

由于这些电传打字机已经有了电子接口，它们很容易适应计算机使用，电传打字机接口在 1960 年代和 70 年代很普遍。

This allowed you, for example, to load a longer, more complicated program from punch tape, and then interact with it using a teletype terminal.

例如，这允许您从穿孔带加载更长、更复杂的程序，然后使用电传打字机终端与其交互。

" Police departments use modern science to protect you, such as teletype, photography." The technology the police are using these days, well, it's gotten a bit more sophisticated than this.

“警察部门使用现代科学来保护你，例如电传打字机、摄影。 ”如今警方使用的技术比这更加复杂。

There was no need to mess it up with bells and whistles, although I did add a number of epistolary interludes (passages from fictional books, a diary entry, letters, teletype bulletins) between narrative segments.

完全没必要画蛇添足给故事增加些闲笔杂音，但我的确在叙事间隙添加了一些书信断章（虚构的书中章节、一篇日记、几封信，还有电报公告）。

However, mass production of televisions for the consumer market, and general improvements in processors and memory, meant that by 1970, it was economically viable to replace electromechanical teletype machines with screen-based equivalents.

然而，面向消费市场的电视机的大规模生产，以及处理器和内存的普遍改进，意味着到 1970 年，用基于屏幕的等效设备取代机电电传打字机在经济上是可行的。

Pressing a letter on one teletype keyboard would cause a signal to be sent, over telegraph wires, to a teletype machine on the other end, which would then electromechanically type that letter.

在一个电传打字机键盘上按下一个字母会导致信号通过电报线发送到另一端的电传打字机，然后电传打字机将以机电方式打出该字母。

As I mentioned last episode, by as late as 1971, it was estimated there were around 70,000 electro-mechanical teletype machines and 70,000 terminals in use, in the United States.

正如我在上一集中提到的，直到 1971 年，据估计美国大约有 70,000 台机电电传打字机和 70,000 台终端在使用。

It didn't make sense to have a teletype machine print this on paper over and over and over again -- that'd waste a lot of paper, and it was slow.

让电传打字机一遍又一遍地在纸上打印这个是没有意义的——那会浪费很多纸，而且速度很慢。
