An ESD has been defined as a portion of an imbalanced high voltage field on a non-conductive surface of something e.g. your hand, a screwdriver or your carpet that has just moved or shifted its energies onto a non-conducive surface in a rapid and uncontrollable manner. In other words, ESD or static electrical shocks are electrical bolts of more than 20 volts where the electrons move from your power plug point to your...

A couple of months ago I purchased my first wireless enabled laptop. As I switched it on and began setting it up I was shocked when I realized that my laptop had found and connected to my neighbours wireless modem and I was able to freely browse the internet and download data using his modem and internet connection.
