[Title] Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) [Description] 
Ever shocked yourself when you've touched a piece of metal? That's a form of electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is an important concept because built up static electricity can cause damage to electronic components if you touch them before your electronic charge has been released. For this reason, we recommend wearing an antistatic wrist strap when dealing with memory and other components.
