Scientific notation makes it easy to write down numbes, and to compare them (if normalized scientific notation is used). It is also fairly easy to multiply and divide them, once you know what you are doing.
In much of the Western world, large numbers are grouped into thousands and powers of thousands - such as millions, billions, trillions etc. TO make large numbers easier to read, they are written in triplets comprising these "super-bases", with the triplets separated by commas. In some European countries, however, the role of the comma and the decimal point are swapped. The system of writing in triplets would not work with the Indic system where thousands are grouped in hundreds (for a lakh), and a hundred lakhs for a crore.
Scientific notation (also called standard form or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.

Scientific notation is useful for writing moderately large and small numbers. But, even that will not cope with the seriously big numbers.
