A microphones sole function is to convert analogue air pressure waves into equivalent electrical waves for the purpose of recording or converting to digital those electrical waves.

Some have minor additional functions such as low pass filter's, preamps, and spit balls (to prevent cymbalism and puffing).

many uses! there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of applications that can utilize your microphone. probably the most notable use for a computer microphone would be for VoIP (Voice over internet Protocol) applications such as skype. However it can be used for many other things such as online games, and even recording.

A microphone can help in many ways. Like for example lets say you are talking with friends through Skype,msn etc... you can speak through the microphone but you can also talk without the microphone. Also some people download programs for lets say singing as an example if you use the microphone you get a better quality also it will most probably only record your voice instead of the voices in the background.

Having a microphone on your computer/laptop is not essential. Also most microphones come with a head set.
