I too grew up accessing computers (the big iron) first with cards and later 
with terminals as they became available around campus.  I agree that cards 
or anything low tech makes the developer first think about what they want 
to build and then do so.

I had a slight advantage by the time my parents let me take college level 
computing with a friend at high school.  I started on paper with imaginary 
simple computers via a Saturday morning show on PBS or more likely WGN 
Chicago.  That was much earlier in my life, perhaps Junior High when I was 
also in an elective class to earn my Amateur Radio Novice Licence.  Upon 
earning that and quickly moving to Technician, I became a member of the 
local ARRL Club.  There I met all kinds of electricians, radio and antenna 
experts, and one Advanced class leader with his own antenna farm on his 
farm.  He was doing moon bounce and slow scan TV.  He showed me his latest 
project -- a home built Z80 Computer that booted by flipping switches to 
input the very tiny OS or a simple program.  Now that really helped me form 
my programming and diagnostic capabilities.

Thankfully all the Hams and teachers I met over the years were eager to 
share their knowledge.  I loved teachers from any class that would go 
outside the curriculum and teach students outside class too.  I hated 
students that would interupt a teacher with a question like "Is that going 
to be on the test?".

I loved great teachers and quickly exited the few classes with poor 
teachers.

Starting early classes on any subject with "low tech" helps form the 
student's mind.

Ah the memories of a life well lived.

Thank you to all the teachers who helped us form our minds!

P.S. During those first years on cards for FORTRAN and COBOL a friend and  
I "competed" for solving programs with the least lines, comments excluded.

The Sputnik launch awakened interest in STEM subjects but computers were 
exotic critters when I was in high school. The IBM System 360/30 was 
released in 1964. RPI had close ties with IBM and iirc had one by 1965. 
That's what I learned FORTRAN IV on. The Z80 was way in the future.

I did eventually get a Amateur Radio license. I'm stubborn enough to keep 
my Advanced license.  They ain't making them anymore but if you had one 
you could keep it. I wasn't that great with code so I never tried for 
Extra.

Imagine if your calculator was like that: you had to think carefully
what you wanted to do, and write it down on a coding form or
something, before simply switching the thing on and punching buttons
...

   Well ... THAT'S HOW IT WAS not ALL so long ago.

   Get it right the FIRST time, or SUFFER.

   That plus minimal memory/storage ensured
   good quality, tight, code.

It also encouraged efficient, logical, consistent system design.
There just weren't the resources to implement the kinds of cruft
that seems to be mandatory these days.

   WILL still stick to my long-time rec that all
   'computer' students START on micro-controllers.
   Teaches efficiency, exact crafting, some hint
   of the underlying electronics.

For those of us too young: When exactly did terminals become common
on university campuses?  Please be more specific than "the 1980s".

By January 1st, 1979, 87.395% of all university access methods to
computers were interactive visual terminals rather than TTYs or other.
(With a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.003% based on the polled
sample size.)

A coordinated mass conversion, to visual terminals, of all remaining
teletype and other non-visual terminals attached to legacy time sharing
systems, at all university campuses around the world, took place on
September 13, 1983, now remembered as "T day".

Engineering students in New York celebrated by suspending a chain of
seven key punch machines from the Brooklyn Bridge.

Depends on the country and the uni. Even depends on the department.

I think I saw it in 1983, but there were departments that had terminals 
earlier.

Maybe what counts is the department that teaches programming to students 
buys the terminals, which is an important investment.

I'm asking for personal recollections.  When did it happen for you?
I've been wondering for some time, and this seems like the perfect
opportunity to ask, given that people have reminisced about their
punch card days.

And yes, I expect computer science got terminals earlier than
engineering.

That's one data point, thanks.

Well in 1969 it was flexowriters and an Elliot computer and paper tape.

It was so bad I  gave up on computers till around 1980
At some point a friend with more money than sense started building an 
S100 computer. 6800 based I think.
Think he had a serial terminal

But what then happened was PC's and computers with keyboards and 
monitors and no one cared about terminals much. Unless you were running 
UNIX and a multiuser setup.
I remember 32 Wyse 50s on a sco unix 386 box with a custom serial card.


That was a popular corporate setup.

That vaguely gybes with my memory. I THINK that serial terminals for 
micros existed prior to 1980, but have no idea about mainframes etc.

VT100 was a 1978 released serial terminal

It was essentially the benchmark

Later terminals were cheaper, but the VT100 was the first I can recall

However...

"DEC's first video terminal was the VT05 (1970), succeeded by the VT50 
(1974), and soon upgraded to the VT52 (1975). The VT52 featured a text 
display with 80 columns and 24 rows, bidirectional scrolling, and a 
custom control protocol that allowed the cursor to be moved about the 
screen. "

I think that the Vt52 was about the first time a 'glass teletype' 
actually became more cost effective than a teletype

Somewhat famously the arrival of some ADM-3A terminals prompted
Bill Joy to extend his ex(1) editor with a visual mode, i.e., vi(1).
That was circa 1977.

I attended university from 1968 to 1971.  In the fall of 1968
they converted from an IBM 7044 to a 360/67.  The 360 had a few
2260s, but I wouldn't call them common and access was fairly
restricted.  There was a number of hard-copy terminals, many
of them dialup: IBM 2741, Teletype 33, 35, and even a few 37s.
But billing (in computer centre funny money, issued to students at
the start of a term) was given a fudge factor of 1.4 for terminal
access.  Most of us contented ourselves with either using the
RJE terminal (originally staffed with an operator who collected
a ticket for each run, later self-serve IIRC), or dropping our
cards into a tray and coming back the next day to pick up the
results (which incurred only a 0.4 fudge factor, which was great
for conserving CC$ that were running low by the end of the term).

The 360/67 was the start of something new for IBM -- timesharing. The 
360/30 maxxed out at 64K and became a satellite processor for some of the 
later 360 machines. I wasn't too interested but a friend was and spoke of 
the future with awe. He eventually dropped out and moved to Boston where 
there was a lot more happening.

My girlfriend started at SUNY Albany before transferring out of that zoo. 
I can't remember what they had, CDC maybe, but definitely not IBM and her 
programming course was in some language that I don't think survived 
either.

  Probably ALGOL.

That was all the rage back then

I think it was something even stranger, maybe SNOBOL. I'll see if she 
remembers the next time I talk to her. She may have repressed the entire 
experience. I wouldn't say SUNY was a diploma mill but it had over 10,000 
students even back then and was industrial scale education.

Speaking of space limitations in the 360 architecture:

Early in my career, 1985 IIRC, I was charged with running
full-chip switch-mode logic similation of the first 960 processor
and got to use an EDAC machine all by myself.  Normal IBM
machines at the time were limited to a 24-bit address space for a
given virtual machine under VM/CMS.  IBM had built a very small
handful of machines that supported a larger address space.  IBM
owed Intel some money at that time.  To pay that debt, IBM loaned
Intel an EDAC machine.  It was used for full-chip switch-mode
logic simulation of the 386.

Immediately after the 386 taped out and was finished with the
machine, I was tasked with running the full-chip logic similation
for the 960 chip.  Largely due to several rounds of microcode bug
fixes, our tapeout slipped beyond the date IBM had agreed to loan
Intel the machine.  For the remaining time we needed to use it, I
was told the rent was $150k/month.  I was the only user.  That
rent was well over an order of magnitude larger than my salary.
No pressure...

How about “the 1970s”?

   Fair enough. As said, depends on WHERE.

   Where I was, first saw like a dozen 'public
   access' terminals in 1978.

   But you had to be 'authorized' - and for
   minor users it was just access to a few
   little databases.

   Even the 'big iron' (usually medium-iron) of
   the day couldn't handle TOO much stuff.
