That's old news. Here's an article from 2006:
A Sixth Sense for a Wired World: "What if, seconds before your laptop began stalling, you could feel the hard drive spin up under the load? Or you could tell if an electrical cord was live before you touched it? For the few people who have rare earth magnets implanted in their fingers, these are among the reported effects -- a finger that feels electromagnetic fields along with the normal sense of touch."

For an electrician (like me) this would be extremely useful to sense when there is power in various systems, and sense their intensity (although, ofc, for precise work it would be necessary to use proper tools).

There is also another very specific reason I want these: in the past I got zapped by the 230V because of a mistake (I thought I cut the power on the line, but I was wrong) ad it was a horrible experience. I don't want to repeat it ever again.
