Are CD's Effected By Static Electricity?
I was just wondering. I know people when they accidentally generate too much static electricity in their bodies & they touch something , they get shocked. But , what I am wondering is, if I were to generate too much electricity & I touch a CD of mine as the first thing I touch , & there is a snap , will the CD be effected. I am not talking about or worried about me being shocked , but shocking the CD with static electricity where it might be damaged. I'm not talking about me & any immediate or adverse effects. If I shock myself or create a shock when touching a music CD, will the CD be damaged at all ? I know that nobody has ever been asked this question before or has ever had this happen to them. I was just curious if I when it could happen & if & when it does, I'll know.
The other thing is , even if people have said it's not good for CD's to have CD labels on the top of them , I use CD labels & my printer is located right next to my box television set. Not a flat screen TV, a box TV. I still have an old styled box TV. Anyways , the part where you insert the paper is right next to the back of the TV where electricity can be emitted. I was wondering if static electricity can be transmitted onto the paper being printed & then when the CD labels are printed , I am wondering if the physical CD's are still safe to have a newly printed label on them that has been printed on with a TV set that is emitting things from the back of the tube area so close to the printer. Thanks.
.... I was just thinking that maybe people cannot get a static electric shock from touching a music CD because the CD is made of plastic. I am still pondering my mind if they , we or I can. I don't know if anything you touch regardless , you can get a shock from whether it is plastic or touching any surface made of anything. I can imagine you can get a static electrical shock from touching anything.
By the way, I must note that I have used CD labels all the time on my blank burnable CD's with no problems with peeling or any other of the things that people complain about that CD labels are bad for some reason. If people have a CD player that has a tray to it that comes out for you to put the CD onto it & it's not a CD player with a slim slit-like entry for you to put the CD into your player such as a car stereo that usually has a slit entry to it , then labels on CD's are fine.
