I am curious to know why these things contain static electricity, I 
noticed it when i would touch the tv screen or when i would place a paper 
on the computer monitor, even though you are not supposed to do that,  I 
am asking as part of a project for my chemistry class at school, I came up 
with the question on my own.  I wasn't sure what area of science it fits 
into so that is why I clicked other.  Well thank you for your time.
