The display has broken down but the device itself is working, how can I utilize it?

On my android device the display has broken down, whereas the device itself is working. Without recovering the display, which I don't know how to do, how can I control and utilize my device? Via ssh? How exactly?
Or what are other ways to utilize it including programming, downloading something from the internet on a regular basic, using it as a web server?
