Computers and Credit Cards
Until optics (and even today) Magnet are one of the most reliable methods for recording electronic data. Every hard drive in america records its informtion with magnets. Even you credit cards need magnets strips on the back to operate.
TV and CRT
Most TV (not plasma or lcd) operate with a electromagnet. You can prove this by placing a large magnet on the screen and see the distortion.
Most speakers and microphones use magnets to convert the electronic signel into sound.
Finally all the billion of electronic that use transformers are linked with a magnetic field.
