TVs and computer monitors use magnets to direct the electron beams as they 'draw' the image.
Speakers of any style use magnets to vibrate the speaker cone.
Hard drives for computers use magnets both to store data and to move the red head.
Cassette players, reel-to-reel tape, VHS players, etc. use magnets in the read/write heads to work with the magnetic-based media.
MRI machines use huge magnets to scan the human body.
Junk yards and factories use magnets to pick up and move metals.

'Magnetic' trains as employed in Japan and Germany. The repelling qualities of equal poles keeps the train suspended in the air above the track. This dramatically reduces friction, alllowing the train to travel at speeds close to 200mph.

Electricity. Ever heard of electromagnets? I've heard of them but I don't actually know what they're used for. It increases something, possibly current. Although I've been told that you can produce electricity by waving a wire between a magnet(s), if this helps.

magnet is used to generate electrcity, current is produced when a changing magnetic field is placed in an electric field.
it is also used to measure currents in a circuit ( ameter)

Yes, almost all of these things, but NOT a compass (or compuss as one poor soul spells it!). The needle in a compass is attracted to the Earth's magnetic pole but is not itself a magnet - it would be useless if it were!

magnetic letters, funnily enough. Formerly made by Fisher Price, now made by just about everyone.
