What are the disadvantages and advantages of azimuthal projection?

This map projection has the advantage of showing the correct distances between places when taken from the centre point of the projection, however it has the disadvantage that the distances from all other points are incorrect, and areas and shapes get distorted more that one moves away from the centre of the projection.

What is the type of projection formed by placing a sheet of paper so that it touches the globe at only on point is?
