Step-by-step explanation:

When we touch the screen of a television or computer we get a slight shock on a dry day. It is due to the accumulation of the electric charges on the screen.

We get slight shock due to the electrostatic force between the hair on the skin and the screen of the television. When we touch the screen then the charges discharge through our body.
