What's the big deal with "flash" and the iPhones & iPads not supporting it?

I'm no computer whiz but the upcoming iPad is cool & I want one. I'll be getting the 32GB 3G version. When I read reviews of the iPhone, quite often I see negative comments referring to the lack of "flash support". I see that the iPad isn't going to have "flash support" either. What exactly is "flash" and what aren't you able to do without it? Since the iPhone is regarded as having the best mobile internet browser, I would think the lack of flash support must not be a huge deal... Maybe certain websites use flash more than others? I don't know. Anyhoo, if anyone can school me on "flash" and what it is/does, please do. Thanx!
