A bridge in networking is a simple device which allows two networks to send data to one another. In another words. Using an IP address- that computer pertains to a particular network. To talk to a different network you would need a router- or for one particular network you could use a bridge. This is most used by small companies that have several computers that would not fit on one address space... Not commonly used! A router is so low cost now- so It is more reliable and flexible!
