Essentially, Html5 come with new tags dedicated to handle multi-media in general, in a more easy way ( or provide them for the first time, at last! -- as for the videos or with <canvas> and <svg> allowing to forgot Flash... ) than before or than never... And Html5 would not be itself, without the nice evolution towards Css3 :P

HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. It is the fifth and current version of the HTML standard.
Key Differences
Audio and video were not part of previous HTML version specifications, however, both are an integral part of HTML5 specifications.
Vector graphics is also an integral part of HTML5 such as SVG and canvas while vector graphics is possible in HTML with the help of various technologies such as VML, Silver-light, Flash, etc.
In HTML, browser cache can be used as temporary storage. In case of HTML5, application cache, web SQL database, and web storage is used.
HTML doesnât allow JavaScript to run in web browser, it runs in the same thread as the browser interface. HTML5 allows JavaScript to run in the background. this is possible because of JS Web worker API in HTML5.
HTML works smoothly with all old browsers while most of the modern web browsers have started supporting HTML5 specifications. These browsers include: Firefox, Mozilla, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.
