I just want to know what will replace Adobe flash? Will our browsing experience and video playing not work? I just want to know what everyone's thoughts are?

My understanding is that we will be like the crippled iPhone.
We have Adobe Air, but that doesn't replace flash. *shrug*

Depends on what sites you use and how they choose to present video. Lots of "flash video " sites also offer HTML5 versions as well. I'd challenge you to use those sites with chrome for android and see what's available...

Email your favorite porn sites and ask them if/when they'll be updating to use HTML5 video.
If there userbase to support sites will switch to HTML5, some site switch to HTML5 just for iOS (but reacts to user agent), if you add Android in to account there will be more sites wanting to bring HTML5 video, specially if those users won't have Flash.
This is something that I am not worried about because I never thought flash worked that well on mobile devices in the first place.

HTML5, Flash has and always will suck. I don't even like Flash websites on my quad-core i5 Windows desktop. It's a resource hog.
I already have flash installed. Is it going to be uninstalled somehow, or just won't be updated anymore?
It won't be updated which means it might stop working after few major Android updates
The flash issue is so much deeper than a means to watch video and even though the mobile phone world find it easy to focus on video an banners flash is actually an extremely capable media development tool.
Most interactive Internet based games are based on the flash platform and Facebook is a prime example.
The majority of users want to go to there favourite website and see a video of clip and play it. HTML 5 isn't needed to do that or to be the replacement for flash video. Most phones play mp4 and h264 based video files so if anything the issue is laziness not whether we need Flash or not.
YouTube has alternative format options and has done for years now. Google owns webm so why isn't it the Android defacto video format?
The sites we know and love need to make the changes and if they use youtube as there video server then they have no excuses. Hint to the mobile nations network.

Wait on VLC to come out of beta. That should play everything like the desktop version I'm sure. The kinks will get worked out.

This right here. While it won't affect me personally my wife wants mobile farmville to work, which needs flash.

Flash is a dying format and I'm fine with that. It's slow and takes a lot of resources. Also interactive flash isn't very smooth by today's standards.
But I feel like Adobe is messing up by only killing Flash for mobile. I feel like Adobe should have come out and said that Flash is yesterday's technology; HTML5 is better; so by 2013 we are disontinuing all flash development (i.e. mobile and desktop). That would have provided a clean break and given everyone a deadline to transition.
Instead they discontinued work on Flash for mobile, but are still maintaining Flash for desktop. This causing confusion and slowing down the transition. It was a mistake IMO.

It is needed for browser to handle video by it's own. Thing is Flash video was always work around for HTML inability to play video files and lack of interactivity, because MS with there IE as a king of browsers did nothing to extend features of HTML until Firefox showed up and they just waken up in IE9.
Flash is something that web should never depended on in first place. It's commercial closed-source product that no body can implement in there browser without kneeing to Adobe (previously Macromedia), it's not good solution at all, web should be open based on open specifications in which everyone operate independably. People complained so much on Apple to implementing Flash, but thanks to that people got there eyes open on HTML5 and flaw of web addiction to Flash, it was a shock for many but imo it was needed.... HTML5 would need to crack Flash dominance eventually
Even Adobe realized that, thats why they step away from mobile... thats why start to propose HTML and CSS Flash-like features... i'm not kidding here, see for yourself:
Google I/O 2012 - New Web Tools and Advanced CSS/HTML5 Features from Adobe & Google - YouTube
They slowly steping away from plug-in and helping out HTML and CSS to match Flash features, so they can make Flash editor to output HTML5 code so every browser that follows specs can run it without need of Adobe, so one day no body will need Flash plug-in.
