Are electromagnetic waves characterized by rarefactions and compressions?
No they are caused by changes in magnetic and electrical fields. When a magnetic field changes it causes an electric field that is perpendicular to it. And vice versa a changing electric field causes a perpendicular magnetic field. These changing fields propagate outwards at the speed of light and are what is meant by an electromagnetic wave.
Why is a vibrating electric field an example of an electromagnetic wave?
The changing electric field will produce a magnetic field; the changing magnetic field will cause an electric field; both will propagate as a wave - an electro-magnetic wave.
What consists of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light?
an electromagnetic wave

Has Nokia come filed a patent for a vibrating tattoo?
Yes they have. The patent is for a magnetic vibrating tattoo that can pick up signals from magnetic fields. The tattoo will vibrate when the person who has it receives alerts from their phone.
How light waves travell through no media?
James Clerk[sic] Maxwell was able to show that an electric field vibrating at a specific frequency would result in a magnetic field vibrating at exactly that same frequency, and that the latter magnetic field would result in an electric field vibrating at the same frequency -- ad infinitem. He was also able to show that this continual vibration would travel away from its starting point at the speed of light -- thus showing that light, at its basic nature, is a vibrating EM field. Experiments showed that pretty much all predictions based on Maxwell's Equations did, indeed, occur -- such as this EM field travelling without any media needed.

How electric current have magnetic effect?
The magnetic force acts only on moving electric charges; A constant electric current produces an unchanging magnetic field and a changing electric current produces a changing magnetic field.
Can storage media be damaged by magnetic and electric fields?
Yes; if the storage is on magnetic media then that can be altered by magnetic and electric fields.
Can an electric field be compressed?
Electric fields are similar to magnetic fields, and can be "compressed" by the imposition of other electric or magnetic fields.
