Well, so far I have done a 4 year degree in Electronics and have been using a soldering iron since I was 10 years old... always I have been warned about ESD and protecting my circuits and ICs and stuff, but so far, I have not seen any such problem - or is it that my ICs go bad and I blame some other reason.

So, what actually is it, right now I am working on a Teensy Board and SD Card module and I am on a synthetic carpet floor with no grounding and wooden table top again no ESD mat or such, so what gives... is it cause of the location / humidity / or something entirely else.
