In 1990 an English bloke wrote HTML. Eventually we were onto HTML4 but it wasn't clever enough. So they came up with XHTML which was cleverer but lots of the web was still in HTML4 and Browsers and designers (Internet Explorer / Safari etc.) were all getting confused over the syntax (Grammar) and some sites weren't working as they should.
HTML5 is meant to clear up all the mess. HTML5 is very clever. For example, you can now load a video in the website with a line of code. You used to have to use FLASH player and hope that Adobe didn't change anything to make your video not play on your site. YouTube have 2 websites, one running videos with FLASH and one with HTML5. Because you can draw, Animate and load videos with just lines of code and not additional software, it loads faster and uses less power (important for mobile devices and the planet).
Why is HTML5 so important?
1. HTML is not owned by anyone. It is an openly developed standard with many companies involved in the decisions. It runs on all the latest browsers with no further software needed. Needing Adobe Flash means one company can make a decision that effects others.
2. Less software needed means more access and less power / storage required.
