Computers these days do not need a screen saver at all, the monitors and screens have developed since the start. Originally the screens used to be CRT green screens which displayed the characters and information by sending a beam of light against a florescent background. When the computers were left displaying the same information time and time again (say when the user needed the toilet/coffee or even lunch breaks) the repeated image was burned into this florescent screen. So even when you were displaying other information you could still see the burned image in the background. To prevent this newer systems allowed the use of s program that blanked out the screen when the computer had not been used for a set time, this saved the 'burn' of the image. Hence the screen was saved - thus a screensaver. Today a screensaver is used primarily to prevent other users/information being accessed without authority. Most screensavers have a password protection.

Should I get a screen saver for my computer?

What appears after your computer is idle for a specified period of time?
Usually the 'screen-saver'. If a TV or computer screen is left on with the same image, it can 'burn' the image onto the screen - creating 'ghosting'. A screen-saver allows your computer to stay on - while protecting the screen's pixels.

Does your computer need to be on in order for updates to run?
You computer needs an internet connection to update(in most cases), in order for your computer to recive an internet signal, it needs to be turned on. I think it may work if you have a screen saver on, but i am not 100% sure on. A way to test it is to start an update and then put your computer into screen saver mode and wait a couple minutes, if the percent goes up it works :P. Happy Updating
