Carbon has made forms and can be used for several things.
Diamond - Gemstone quality are cut and placed in jewelery, Industrial diamonds are used in tools like diamond tipped saws and drill bits designed to cut into heavy materials like stone or metal.
Water Filters - Carbon can combine with many other elements which is why it is used to remove a number of impurities from drinking water and small aquariums.
Electronics - Carbon is commonly used in electronic components (such as resistors) found in TVs, Radios, Computers, Playstations, etc.
Feul & Energy - In the form of coal it is widely used in the boliers of electrical power plants to generate energy. In developing countries it is used as a more efficient means over wood for heating the home and cooking. In China the coal that is mined is pressed into round stackable bricks that are alloted to the people without electricity every month so they can cook food and heat their homes.
Graphite - The "Pencil Lead" for wooden and mechanical pencils. A dry lubricant commonly used on small mechanical devices like locks and hobby motors of miniature vehicles.
Drinks - By mixing with oxygen in the form of Carbon Dioxide it allows for the bubbles in soda.
Food - In the form of baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) it creates gas bubble that make cookies and cakes light and airy.
Steel - The strong and common alloy is made by adding carbon to iron.
Simple Calories - Carbon in one of the key elements in the sugars and starches that make up the carbohydrades in food. The subtances are typically plant-based in origin and are the easiest to breakdown into energy.
Nano Tubes - An experimental "artificial muscle" consisting of strong microscopic carbon structures that can flex and contract with electrical current.
Aerospace Engineering - New aircraft and spacecraft hulls are made of overlapping layers of woven carbon fiber material and heated resins. The combined layers are stronger and lighter than the traditional aluminum panals that make up older aircraft and space craft skins.

Well to be quite frank listing all the uses of carbon would take forever, but i can list a few. Carbon is used in almost everything organic: soil has carbon, we are made of carbon, food has carbon. Along with many other uses.

Carbon is used to make carbon dioxide for carbonating beer and soft drinks. Carbon is also used to make graphite for pencil lead. The only other use of carbon is making carbon fiber dash boards for cars. All in all, carbon is one of the most useless elements.

many things are made of carbon, including humans! It's very important in Chemistry, and is one of the differences between organic chem from inorganic chem.
