Why were transporters used in Star Trek?
Inspire real inventions
Cut show costs
Show new special effects
Look futuristic and cool
Transporters were a cost-effective way for the storyline to go from inside the ship to the surface of a planet. To shoot the Enterprise landing on a planet would have required too many special effects.
