When or why are magnets safe to use now?
In: Technology
Older computer hard drives are magnetic, and a strong magnet can destroy the data on them.
CRT monitors also rely on magnetic fields to display an image, so a magnet can break the display.
Newer technology doesn’t work that way. SSDs and LEDs aren’t as easily affected by the kind of weak magnet that you’d use in a phone case.
