shielded vs unshielded pros and cons?

I read about this concerning ICs. Can someone help explain the  the differences to me and why it's important (or not),
WITHOUT BEING CONDESCENDING OR HIJACKING THE QUESTION? That would help me to understand it better.

"...I think all audio interconnects are shielded?..."

No they are not all shielded. A shielded cable can help reject noise if there is noise nearby. If you are in a low-noise environment and your system is not picking anything up, shielding is not required.
