What is Screen Saver ?
A screen saver is a computer program that activates when your computer is inactive for a set amount of time, displaying images or patterns to prevent image burn-in on your monitor. They also enhance security by locking the screen and requiring a password to access it again. Moreover, screen savers entertain by showing animations, personal photos, or other fun images. However, they have disadvantages such as increased energy consumption, as they can prevent the computer from entering power-saving modes.
