Today's hardware may actually be worse at handling static:i guess today hardware is better of handling static, but better is avoid that or at least minimize the risk
and it reminds me when i kicked my old phone several years ago
"A Case for Lowering Component Level Charged Device Model Electrostatic Discharge Specifications and Requirements": http://esda.org/documents/IndustryCouncilWhitePaper2.pdf
Most chips used to be built to withstand 3,000V zaps, but industry wants to limit the requirement to 1,500V - 2,000V, and that may require more careful handling, maybe even always taking anti-static precautions
