Why is there no screensaver in the default installation of Ubuntu 13.04 ? I've found that it can be installed afterwards, but I don't understand why this feature is not present by default. Has the concept of screensaver been replaced something else ? Is there a discussion somewhere where I could find an explanation for this ?
How do you install a screensaver ? Does Unity even have screensavers ?

There is no need for screen-savers in today's day and age. They were used to prevent CRT burn-in. Turning LCD entirely off will prevent burn-in too and save a good amount of energy.
If you still want to install a screen-saver then read this article.
