Space Technology

NASA is known to use gold in their operations. They use it in their space shuttle circuitry to be a connector and a conductor. One of the attributes of gold that makes it used for purposes like this is its dependability. It works. It works like gold.

Computers

You may be surprised to hear that gold is used in nearly all laptops and desktop computers. Similar to why NASA will use gold to act as a conductor and connector. Computer companies use gold in their machines for nearly the same purpose.

Electronics

As with computers, many of your electronic devices have gold inside them.

Financial Preparedness

This is one of the most important uses of gold, if not the most important. I talk a lot about investing in gold for preparedness in the financial survival category here at The Survival Journal.

Investing in gold is can be one of the best decisions you can make for your long-term financial survival plan. Gold has been, is, and will always be a precious and scarce resource. It will always have value.

When the dollar collapses, you’ll wish you had some gold. For more information, see my post on whether or not you should invest in gold during a recession.

Making Glass

Gold is often used in the process of making glass. It performs well as a pigment. When using gold for glass making, it produces a vibrant hue color effect on the finished product. Only a small amount of gold is needed for this so it works well.

Jewelry

Of course, jewelry is on the list.

One of the more known ways to use gold is to wear it. It being the bright, vibrant, and valuable material makes it the perfect material for jewelry.

I’ve been known to wear a pair of golden cufflinks.

Gold Leaf and Gliding

A gold leaf is made when you take gold and press it into thin sheets. Gliding is commonly used with gold because the metal is malleable, making it ideal for this. In fact, gold is the only mineral that can be flattened to the degree of thousands of an inch in thickness.

Medical Use

Gold is used in hospitals as a source of radiation for cancer treatments.

Trophies

Similar to the appeal by using gold for jewelry. You want trophies to be prestigious and somewhat valuable in and of itself. Gold is the perfect trophy material.

Dentistry

Have you ever thought about having a mouth full of gold?

Gold is used in specific types of alloys. Gold is used because no other metal has been found to work better for this purpose.
