Do we need to worry about magnets?
“At home you will be surrounded by magnets – they are in every computer, speaker, TV, motor, smartphone, to name just a few applications,” says Matt, “Modern life would simply not be possible without them.”
It seems that magnets have unfairly gotten a bad press, but it’s still important to exercise caution when wielding the strongest magnets.
“Strong neodymium magnets aren’t toys,” explains Michael, “You may have read in the news about how recently, some magnet toys were getting swallowed by very young kids. This is a very, very serious health risk, since multiple magnets can attract to one another through intestinal walls. We’re talking peritonitis, which means immediate surgery is required to remove them.”

Thanks everyone.
The fact that they can blow up rotating -magnetic- hard disks actually makes sense, but in summary, neodymium magnets are really not that harmful to digital circuit stuff such as those of PCs/mobile devices, flash memories and SSD hard disks? Am I pretty safe in this regard?
@DrGlowire:
Thanks as well, but for some reason damage to human integrity has never been a worry for me (never ever hurt myself with magnets until now).
