I have a simple question: When should I use callbacks?

Currently, I'm only using callbacks in I/O cases (file, database and 
network access).
My application has to iterate over a lot of big arrays and combines this 
data to new objects. I'm doing this with a standard (synchronous) for-loop, 
because this task needs only CPU power. So there would be no benefit to use 
an asynchronous call.

Is this assumption correct?
Can you please give me other examples for useful callbacks other than those 
mentioned above?

Thank you
