   Do 'screens' create 'minds'?   
      
   Yes, no, maybe?   
      
   Once upon a time I took calculus.  I am not quite sure   
   when I got the idea that if I had spent more time I might   
   have gotten a better grade.  I am thinking I might not have   
   gotten an 'A' in all of my calculus classes, and I thought of   
   at some point reviewing it and doing some of the problems in   
   the book again.  I keep thinking of doing that again, and have   
   had the book sitting around with the general idea of doing it   
   again.  I took other math classes and referred to the book on   
   occasion, but I am thinking I never really did it.  Now I have   
   the calculus book in front of me, and am still thinking of maybe   
   reviewing it.   
      
   I took the calculus class about 40 years ago.  I once remember   
   my mother telling me 'do not procrastinate'.  My mother has   
   since that time passed away.  You mentioned the word 'screens'   
   in your post.  Once upon a time there was something called   
   'cathode ray tubes'.  Are the pages of a book 'screens'?   
   Maybe?  Not sure.   
      
   Somehow my mind got the idea that reviewing calculus might   
   not be 'enjoyable'.  Will I ever do that?  I am not sure.
