Depends on how you scope the problem.  They are essential to everyday 
life if you look at the items in the average first world household.

I understood the original question was essentially "why is this 
relevant"Â  not how do I use this directly?

Low power electronics often requires 9 orders of magnitude of current 
measurements.  The individuals holding a cellphone may not make those 
measurements, but they rely on them every day.

Modern mechanical parts routinely rely on accuracy of a few tens of 
microns. Again, not necessarily a measurement that someone is likely to 
make, but any modern item relies heavily on that level of accuracy.

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
