As for AF and RF transmission lines, I think that very much depends on your definition of
"serial". Most such protocols aren't just mark/space. An analog color TV
signal, for example, needs about 12MHz of bandwidth. That equates to a fair bit of data
moving at the same time, yet portions are still serial.

Although ANALOG, isn't a POTs line serial?
Although not electronic, aren't most cashier queues serial?
