The POS (Point of Sale) is a machine that sits beside a smart terminal. I spoke about this before but mainframes had terminals that were considered (Dumb Terminals). Today we have smart terminals. Hence the Smartphone. Smart terminals are devices that sit on or near a retail checkout. Now these smart terminals have a fully functional self contained system. There are little device that allow you to make a purchases from a retail counter. The Device is connected to the smart terminal, and every time a transaction is made. Because he are allowed to have applications on our smart terminal. An application will save an entry of the transaction and send it directly to accounting through the network (Again yay for smart terminals). Want to know something else that is cool!!! You can scan bar codes into the smart terminal. Just wait until we are able to pay for everything through our smartphone.
