The Advantages of a Screen Saver

In past decades, Computer Monitors comprised of cathode-ray tubes often suffered "screen burn." A static image on the screen for hours could wear down the phosphor coating, leaving a permanent ghostly imprint. Screen savers were developed to blank the screen or fill it with lively motion graphics in an effort to disrupt burn-in during inactive periods. This was the screen saver's initial purpose, and the origin of its name. Computer monitors now utilize LCD technology, eliminating the threat of burn-in. But screen savers can still provide several useful services.

They have no actual use nowadays, but back when computers with CRT screens first came out, they had 'burn in' problems. What would happen is the screens back then used a more powerful ion beam, and would burn holes in the screen if left too long. The purpose of the screen saver was to quite literally save your screen from holes.
