Can someone explain Tablets to me?

Ok, So I know how to put a drawn image onto a pc by tracing with Flash.

What's so good about Tablets? I watched a couple YouTube Videos but I don't really get it..

Tablets basically just allows you to do stuff quicker. The pen and pad is a more naturally feel and more efficient then a mouse.

When you use a tablet in sketching Its like your hammering a nail using a hammer and not a pliers.

How does it allow you to do stuff quicker? Is just a guide, or does it pick up your drawings or something?
"The Pen and Pad" I've heard you can draw right onto your MAC or something?

Good Videos or examples are much appreciated!

Thanks guys

Best way to explian is this. Do a google on a bunch of different tablet brands. Go to each site. Most sites will have a lil video showing its use. people using it. Will talk about its pros. I think one is called Wacom or something like that.
