We are all born with the ability and willingness to screen people. Sometimes screening crosses the border and becomes ignoring and possibly even total avoidance. Sometimes as you have said, screening people is necessary. But, if people screen others to derive a sense of power or control from the situation, it's usually not a good thing. I'm pretty sure screening television channels has become a form of art. With so many channels on television, we are always left wondering if there is something else on. So, we begin our infinite search to find something good to watch. Which in reality, there isn't anything good to watch, we just never realize that. Yes, I believe it comes down to human nature.

Has anyone seen their boss headed their way and ducked into a side door or around a corner? Probably so, I know that I have. Sometimes this can be a good thing, some time to cool off or to rethink the situation, sometimes this can cool things down some. Flipping through the T.V. channels is another way of screening. Sometimes this can be very irritating to the other person trying to watch television. But everyone does this,young and old. My Dad had one of the first remotes in our neighborhood,he called it Johnnie or Robert or whoever was closest to the television. I had my own personal remotes also, their names were Diana and Bobby. Bobby got so used to the channels changing that if it stopped on one channel, he thought that the T.V. was broken!!!! Yes everyone screens in one way or another,young or old,rich or poor.
