The Importance of Screensaver
March 10th, 2010 Ceasar
The screensaver industry underwent a huge booming stage during the time when most of the computer screens being used depended on CTR’s or cathode ray tubes. When an image is displayed for a long period of time on a CRT, the screen tends to permanently and gradually change. This leads to the common “ghost” image that appears on your old television set. With this sort of dilemma, the screensaver programs became popular because they helped avoid certain screen damages by consistently displaying images that change within periods of time during user inactivity. A screensaver may also activate certain background tasks such as distributed computing applications or virus scans that only uses small amounts of memory.
