Jumpers are used to select options on printed circuit boards. The more sophisticated the board, the fewer the jumpers. Having no jumpers is best if changes have to be made by the user, otherwise the board has to be pulled out of the case.

Hard Drive Selection
Jumpers are used on IDE/ATA hard drives to select their operation mode, and schematics like this one are commonly found on the drive to show how to place the jumper on the pins. In "Single" mode, the jumper is not used.
