What happens if the motherboard touched a carpet for a split second with the plastic-like material still wrapped around it (how it comes when you buy it). The purpose of the plastic-like material around it is so it doesn't conduct any static electricity, right? Will my motherboard be fine?
 
Solution
You're perfectly fine.

Also, bear in mind that touching carpet even bare isn't the end of the world. The trouble is if it's rubbing, or doing some motion like that which will generate static electricity.
