A bridge is a device to join two network segments. The advantage is it's cheap, easy, doesn't require routing to work. The disadvantages are it doesn't support routing (so both networks form one large broadcast domain and see each others traffic), and most bridges don't support any kind of traffic filtering. Bridges aren't much used any more on physical LANS, but are important on virtual LANS and in wireless. Those bridges are much "smarter" than the old physical ones, and the ability to manage an entire virtual LAN as a single network is important. These virtual bridges can calculate and choose the shortest path for data, prevent network loops, and other useful stuff.
