Yes, parallel transfer is used for most data transfer, especially in speed critical areas like main memory systems. Serial transfer is more often used in I/O systems. USB, Firewire, SATA are all serial. There are also two common serial interfaces, I2C and SPI, that are used to communicate within computers between processors and peripheral chips like timers and EEPROMs.
