Local Echo
Terminal emulators may implement a local echo function, which may be erroneously named "half-duplex" (see Duplex (telecommunications) for information on half-duplex), or still slightly incorrectly "echoplex" (which is formally an error detection mechanism rather than an input display option).

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or echo:
“These native villages are as unchanging as the woman in one of their stories. When she was called before a local justice he asked her age. “I have 45 years.” “But,” said the justice, “you were forty-five when you appeared before me two years ago.” “Señor Judge,” she replied proudly, drawing herself to her full height, “I am not of those who are one thing today and another tomorrow!””
—State of New Mexico, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
