Back in the early 2000s the peak form of entertainment was watching 3D pipes infinitely generate on the computer screen. So in this video I decided to take a deep dive into the history of these nostalgic screensavers, detailing the most influential screensaver releases, seeing how they developed over the years, and the eventual fall in popularity.

This video took a lot of effort to research and put together, so thank you so much for watching :)
BTW if you want to use old screensavers on modern versions of windows, I downloaded some from this website.

(You just put the .scr file in the system 32 folder and it will be an option in your screensaver settings)
