Of course it does!
To see static charges equalizing, turn off the lights in a room, scuff your feet on the carpet,
and touch another person. Occasionally, you can see and feel the charge in your fingers.
If you can feel the charge, you discharged at least 1,500 volts of static electricity. If you hear
the discharge, you released at least 6,000 volts. If you see the discharge, you released at least
8,000 volts of ESD. A charge of only 10 volts can damage electronic components! You can
touch a chip on an expansion card or motherboard, damage the chip with ESD, and never
feel, hear, or see the discharge.

If you properly ground yourself by using a antistatic bracelet (or if you don't have one, just use your hands) to make contact to a unpainted portion of the computer case/chassis (or even the power supply) to discharge any stored electrostatic charge that is on your body.
At least 3000 volts of static electricity must build up before a person can feel ESD. For example, static electricity can build up on you as you walk across a carpeted floor. When you touch another person, you both receive a shock. If the discharge causes pain or makes a noise, the charge was probably above 10,000 volts. By comparison, less than 30 volts of static electricity can damage a computer component.
A: it is not actually a tool but a ground wire connected to the earth ground which is connected to the chassis The best way to protect your system against ESD is to use a ground bracelet together with a ground mat. Consider a ground bracelet essential equipment when working on a computer.
The human body naturally accumulates static electricity - through friction with the man-made fibres we wear. An anti-static wrist strap is connected to just the earth circuit in the household mains supply - this sends any build up of static down to earth - preventing it getting to the computer. Many computer circuits are so delicate that a tiny amount of static is enough either to wipe a computer chip - or even damage the circuitry within the chip itself !
ESD
(Electro static Discharge) ESD will permanently damage your computer component. -By Hector Morales.
esd
motherboard would be the computer component?i got this exact question in a Quiz lolthe answer is ESD
esd damage your computer key board and mouse
A circumstance that increases the likelihood of ESD damage to a computer is working in an area with low levels of humidity.
To not damage the computer components.
A: absolutely
Most components are designed and built to work at very low voltage. ESD can be of a magnitude of 1000 times greater. So if this voltage can find its way into a circuit it can permanently damage the circuit or worst yet weaken it for a premature failure
To an electronic device, yes.
A: CERTAINLY but if it the resistance is there there can be any ESD to begin with
Yes
