Gold was used for thousands of years long before it had some uses in the industry. It has no really special chemical properties: it doesn't react much with other chemical elements
Actually, gold's lack of chemical interaction is one of its prized properties, which is part of why it is so desirable in jewelry, electronics, and medicine/biology--it doesn't corrode or rust or otherwise diminish over time. Few other elements even come close, and most of them are gases.
