In _My Perfect Computer World_, every computer would be required to have a

sets, terminal emulations, color maps, etc.  It would have access to the
system at the firmware level. The standards would be rigidly enforced.
Such a standard exists. It's called... (wait for it) RS-232, as long as 
everone sticks to 9k6-8-N-1 and uses vt100 terminal emulation.

LOL, we call that standard "trainee", not quite that fast or precise but 
they serve coffee when they come back from the server room ;-)
