A simply supported beam is just that - the most simple arrangement of the structure. The beam is supported at each end, and the load is distributed in some way along its length. There is more to the application of this than might first appear, but it's the starting point for analysis. What is the load on the beam going to be? If it's a floor joist, how much is the furniture going to weigh that is placed on it? What if someone wants to put a steel safe in the middle of the span of the beam under consideration? You get the picture. But it all stems from a beam supported at the ends and having to bear a load distributed in some way along its length. Simply-supported describes the constraints imposed on the beam by its foundations. A simply supported beam cannot have any translational displacements at its support points, but no restriction is placed on rotations at the supports.

A cantilever beam is often used for making balconies in residential architecture. A cantilever beam is a beam that is supported only one of its ends while the open end can support a certain weight.
A cantilever is a beam supported at one end. A diving board is anchored at one end and hangs out over the pool. It's a cantilever. More can be learned by using the link and looking at some pictures while reading the Wikipedia article.
One of the weaknesses is that because of its design of two beams supported by varied types of supports on either end, it usually cannot be very long, although there are some exceptions.

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.
A supported beam has both ends of the beam resting on a support. A cantilever has a single support often hinged close to or at one end with the other end supported in another manner.
There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.

A cantilever has only one end or point fixed; this is an obvious difference between having two points or both ends fixed. The nature of bending moment is same throughout the span in the case of a cantilever beam whereas a fixed beam has both types of nature, i.e. sagging as well as hogging.

The Triple Beam Balance is a typical mechanical balance. It has a beam which is supported by a fulcrum. On one side is a pan on which the object is placed. On the other side, the beam is split into three parallel beams , each supporting one weight.
Well, honey, a simply supported beam has two degrees of freedom - one at each end where it can rotate and move up and down. So, if you're looking to shake things up with that beam, you've got a couple of options to play with. Just don't get too wild and start adding more degrees of freedom, keep it simple, sweetie.
