what are screensavers for?

Filed under: life

I never understood fancy/3D/interesting/etc screen savers. Screen saver is supposed to protect the screen from burning in certain points. As far as i understand that means dynamic picture. It’s not supposed to load the CPU/memory/graphic card/whatever and waste electricity. Besides, screen saver is when you are not near the computer. Can anyone explain why they are so popular?
