scanners are nice when you have spare time and you have a few pictures and you want to put them on your computer, you just pop the picture in the scanner, and press scan and whalah! they pictures is now on your computer, from here you can edit it, print it, e-mail it, and much more. they are also used (at least for me) to save contracts, receipts, etc to my computer as proof of purchase, because of this one time i had an awful experience where i misplaced the receipt and i couldn't return my 400 dollar computer monitor that had soo many dead pixels that it was just heart-breaking!
the down side is that they do require some care. you cant scratch them, and you have to clean them free of dust, fingerprints or it will be most annoying, so take good care of it and youll be fine. if anything its always fun to scan a magazine and just edit it and have fun for a few hours.

Advantage: They can read minds.
Disadvantage: They make heads explode. Also the Scanner Cop movies sucked.
...
In all seriousness, specific scanners may have advantages or disadvantages compared to others (and I'll leave you to do your own research), but basically if you need to get images of printed material, you need one. If you don't, it may be fun to play with occasionally, but probably it will just take desk space in the end.
