Switchable Wheels? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I just bought a used schwinn and am starting to ride since I was a kid. Am
starting to notice a bunch of **** on this bike I bought. Lot of gears I never
use and other ****. A thought occurred to me,

Do all bicycles wheels (of same size) "switch"? Or is this idiot schwinn stuff
very proprietary and hard to match with other makes of bike? And, is there a
bike that lets you quickly switch out front and rear wheels? I'm thinking of
finding another (quick replacement, whole) wheel, in case I ever get a flat.
I'm lazy and can't see myself dicking around trying to fix a flat --if i could
just swap out the whole wheel.
