Although friction slows many things down, and makes machines less efficent, we would have a hard time if there was no friction. Your shoelaces would not stay tied- but that would not matter, since you could not walk if your feet had no friction with the ground- nor could you drive a car- which would be good, since the brakes would not work. You would probably starve since you could not pick up a drink, or food.
