You can use an older Cinema Display or any VGA HDMI, or DisplayPort monitor with the MacBook 12, but you can't use a Thunderbolt (or FireWire) device with it, such as the Thunderbolt Display or pro-class storage devices. Even if Apple comes out with a Thunderbolt Display-like USB-C hub-equipped monitor, all existing (and expensive) Apple displays and third-party hubs are orphaned. If you spent $1,000 on a Thunderbolt Display, you're screwed it does not work as either a monitor or a dock with the MacBook 12.

However, you can do so only one at a time, unless you pay $79 for an Apple Multiport adapter that supports three simultaneous connections: USB-C (such as for power), USB, and video (HDMI or VGA, depending on model) - but not Thunderbolt, which every other current and recent Mac model supports. Not so with the MacBook 12 - its USB-C port may, through adapters, connect to a variety of USB, VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort devices, as well as to a power source. That lets you convert your MacBook Air or Pro into a workstation, without the port profusion common to PCs.

With Thunderbolt, you could connect a MacBook Air or Pro to an Apple Thunderbolt Display or to a third-party Thunderbolt dock that would in turn connect to a variety of peripherals, such as wired Ethernet, USB devices like iPads and iPhones (for both charging and syncing), and backup drives (whether FireWire or USB). It's only one port, which does less than other MacBooks' panoply of ports. It's the move to USB-C that makes the new MacBook so iPad-like. It comes in the same three colors as the iPad, and it features a new touchpad that favors the use of iPad-like gestures. The new MacBook is mainly screen and battery, with a tiny motherboard inside - like an iPad Air. But in addition to its standard audio jack, it has only one port: a USB-C port that is more similar to the iPad's Lightning port than the MacBooks' Thunderbolt port. No, the MacBook 12 doesn't have a touchscreen, and it uses a traditional attached keyboard. But in many ways, the new MacBook is more iPad than laptop. When Apple announced the new 12-inch MacBook this week, all eyes were on its superthin design - it's thinner than the MacBook Air every PC has emulated for years.
