It's really two things:  one is a way to open multiple terminal/shell
sessions under one program (maybe think of it as something of a window
manager for the command-line), and the other is, well...  Have you ever
had the experience where you logged in on your machine and were doing
something fairly important (like compiling up some kernel or something),
and then get called away and end up at some other machine (like maybe
even you went home from the office) and wish you could somehow "latch
onto" that shell you had running and drag it to you?  Screen is the
thing that, if you're using it, lets you do that.
