Question

Why should you not put a magnet near a tv or computer?

Answer 1

because the electronic waves from the electronics will weaken the magnetic effect of the magnet

Answer 2

Hey,

Magnets have a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to computers. Many of us have heard that magnets can wipe our hard drives, wreak havoc on our computer monitors, or that magnets distort the flow of electrons through cables. Stick a cheap magnet to a floppy drive and whatever information was stored would be gone.

Hope it helps

Merry Christmas
