The Advantages of a Screen Saver
In past decades, computer monitors comprised of cathode-ray tubes often suffered "screen burn." A static image on the screen for hours could wear down the phosphor coating, leaving a permanent ghostly imprint. Screen savers were developed to blank the screen or fill it with lively motion graphics in an effort to disrupt burn-in during inactive periods. This was the screen saver's initial purpose, and the origin of its name. Computer monitors now utilize LCD technology, eliminating the threat of burn-in. But screen savers can still provide several useful services.
They have no actual use nowadays, but back when computers with CRT screens first came out, they had 'burn in' problems. What would happen is the screens back then used a more powerful ion beam, and would burn holes in the screen if left too long. The purpose of the screen saver was to quite literally save your screen from holes.

What is a purpose of a screensaver?
Back in the day, older CRT monitors had a problem with memory-effect -- if you left an image or text in the same position on the screen long enough, it would "burn into" the screen. Even if you turned the monitor off, you could still see the burned-in images.
To prevent this, screen savers change the display on a more or less random basis.
It's not as great a problem with LCD monitors, but a better solution exists -- use the power-saver option of the monitor to shut the screen down when it's not in use. Not only does this preserve the screen, it also saves energy and money.
