The div element is a generic container used to group elements together for styling purposes. For example, all elements in the footer on a page may be grouped together into one div and surrounded by a border to set them off from the rest of the page.

<div> is the most generic block element. We use it for block elements that cannot be meaningfully represented by other elements (i.e. not for lists, headers, etc).

<span> is the most generic inline element. We use it for the same reason, just applied to inline elements. I personally avoid it like the plague, but eh.
