One reason is money. The money that we use everyday, paper and coins, is worth nothing, if there is no gold. We use paper and coin money so that we don't have to carry around the gold all the time, which is very heavy and malleable. Another is for jewelry. Don't you just love shiny, golden necklaces and rings? Unless we use brass, which can brown and loose its shine over time, we wouldn't be able to have those things without gold. Typically, gold is combined with other metals to make an alloy. The jewelry we wear is not usually pure gold. Our rings would be heavy and very easy to bend if they were, which is not good. Also, gold can be used in electronics. It is a good conductor, and, as I mentioned before, is easily bent and shaped.
