: Do magnets and electronics go together?

I always had the idea that magnets were harmful to electronics. This is partly because of past experiences with old CRT screens and magnets.

So what if I were to buy a magnet bracelet from Dynomighty.com (http://www.dynomighty.com/product_detail.php?2Mighty-Bracelet&d=warehouse+sale+DY-180) and wrap it around my Galaxy, my LCD screen or other electronics in general, would this be a bad move?

You won't know till you try or see first hand. I know for sure that I'd like to see the results.

Funky bracelet too.

I imagine magnets has an effect on CRT screens due to the way they work with electrons flying around. Add a magnet and it works as an extra deflector.

It'd just be terrible to wear a magnet bracelet if you'd have to dodge all electronics with your wrist.

Good luck to that, it's easy to forget how many electrical things aid us nowadays. Their main target audience must be the Amish ;)

I'd keep it a way from your micro sd card. Although it could affect the phones memory and the battery too. Also phone signal, GPS ect ect:)

I like Magnets:):):)

I like magnets too. That's my dilemma. :)
