Friction can be very helpful. It prevents things from slipping away from your hand easily. Stopping a car from crashing (breaks). Slows you down when necessary

Makes us able to stand up. Helps us sand things when doing wood projects (with sandpaper). Makes us able to carry things. You can also warm your body by friction by rubbing your hands together or on certain body parts to warm yourself up.
