You Can Still Burn Images Into Monitors
For some years after computers first became popular screensavers were a must have otherwise it was quite possible to ruin a monitor by burning an image into the screen. This happened if the monitor was left displaying something for too long.
Over the years though the need for screensavers disappeared as monitor technology improved and today many experts will tell that it’s impossible to burn an image into your screen.
Well don’t you believe them because right now there is a rather expensive 19 inch flat screen monitor sitting on Toni’s desk with a very large image burnt into it.
Screensavers still have an important function to play - but be careful when you’re downloading free screensavers - you often get a whole lot more nasty stuff hidden in the download.
