As other posters have said, the question is confusing. You could be asking
at least two different questions:

1) What do you use a digital camera for and what do you use a film camera
for?

2) What do you use a DSLR for and what do you use a non-slr digital camera
for?

In other words, is your question meant to focus on the digital nature of the
camera or the SLR nature of the camera?

What do DSLR offer that I did not get on a point and shoot.
First speed.
Speed of switching on.
Speed of framing.
Speed of focussing.
Speed of zooming.
Speed some decisions can be posponed till you are behind the pc (with raw)

Swithing on is (almost) instantly. The view through the viewfinder is there
when you look.
Framing is faster than with a point and shoot.
Focusing of the camera is faster. (I use the middlepoint almost exclusively)
and you know
what you are focusing on. (I still do make mistakes).
Zooming, I didn't know how fast I could zoom, till I saw the results of my
daughter during
a game. Within a 1/3 of a second I have a picture of her full frame and the
next picture
is zoomed out completely.
Fast is less change on missing a picture, and more change of getting a
picture during
fast events. (sports of example.)

Holding the camera.
Because of the size, when taking pictures you have more grip on the camera.
So chances are that you hold it more stable.

A more sensitive sensor. (Less noise) This means that you can still take
pictures
when it's getting to dark for a point and shoot. (This is offcourse limited
to the time
it get's to dark for your camera).

With a sepperate flash the flash possibilities do realy increase.
Larger rooms, and faster handling, better lightning.

Raw.
Not only DSLR's have raw, but with raw you can improve your pictures more.
And you have more room for error. A good example is using a DSLR, a flash
and
raw during a reception. It's difficult to get the lightning perfect for all
situations.
But an external flash and raw make the succesrate of the pictures far
higher.
For other difficult situations, you can just speed ahead and with the raw
results make the desisions at your computer. So less time is needed during
the shoot.

Larger sensor. This has the disadvantage of less depth of field, for example
with macro picture. But this had the advantage of less depth of field for
portrets etc.

But at this moment point and shoots are good and can cater for most
situations, but with a DSLR you just can cater faster and in a few more
situations.

A voice recorder does the same job, except for the college kids thing, which
I don't know why you would care to take a photo of.

I use an SLR cos its use and operation is just a great of the photo
experience as the end result.

Hell i've been doing it since i was 11 yrs old.
