It's no wonder with us all using flat screens of some kind.

CRTs were _very_ prone to burn in, LCDs and such far less so.

I don't even turn em off anymore, much less use a blank screen
screensaver, and the one LCD is at least 10 years old, not even a trace
of burn in.

A CRT of that age, on all the time, with the same images, icons etc,
would be showing burn in.

Screen savers died as a thing cause we just don't need them anymore.
They're the modern day buggy whip, once everyone had em and used em, now
it's just the Amish types.  I dare say there are still folks out there
with CRT monitors.

You know it just occurred to me that even saying CRT might get confusing
these days, since there's another meaning to those letters now (Critical
Race Theory vs Cathode Ray Tube.)
