I have limited knowledge of computers, and my machine is emitting sparks when touched. It also isn’t connecting to the internet. IMG_2946.mov

Is there a virus or a video clip? Just don’t download anything. Anyway, turn it off. Unplug it. If it’s sparking, leave it off.

Connect your computer to a grounded outlet and verify that all power strips and cables have a grounding wire (or earthing). It's typical for a power source to emit a minimal AC voltage, which is intentionally done to lower EMI (electromagnetic interference) that might disrupt AM/FM radios, walkie talkies, and other devices. The system depends on proper grounding to safely release the small AC current through the power cable.

I'll check and see if that was the issue

This could occur if the wall outlet isn't correctly grounded? That does sound risky.
