Decreased friction is very helpful in working machinery, because friction causes wear and tear.Mainly its very helpful in moving parts.

Decreased friction is also helpful in electric cables and wires, as reduced friction reduces energy loss via heat.

There are several ways to decrease friction. Separate the surfaces with air, lubricant, magnetism, etc. Smooth out the bearing surfaces until friction is at a minimum (realizing that TOO smooth a surface will increase friction), etc... In any event decreasing friction will make for a more efficient bearing surface.
