Eletromagnetically means electric and magnet

Data can be stored on magnetic tapes or disks. (As opposed to solid state memories such as RAM, ROM, Flash drive, USB stick, MMC etc.)

A taperecorder is an electromagnet device. magnetic particles embedded on the plastic tape (on one side)can be magnetised, semi permanently, as you pass it over a tape head. Which is an electromagnet, fed by an audio signal.

Computer disks and tapes are just an extension of this idea, where information is written (and read) by means of electromagnets and a magnetic substance.

Hard drives in computers, also use the same technology except the disks holding the magnetic material are rigid and run at very high speed, with microscopic read heads.
