Graphics Cards and Bitcoin Mining

Why were graphics cards so important in Bitcoin mining?

Then programmable GPUs came along, and somebody (well, everybody) discovered they are perfect for mining Bitcoin - so most people switched to GPUs or FPGAs, and the resulting difficulty increase eliminated CPU miners (Bitcoin adjusts the mining difficulty automatically - the more hashes per second total in the network, the harder it gets).
