 Yes, as will most contemporary electronics, even without
 elaborate protection. 
Right, I think there is a lot of hype about this.  A cell
phone should be fine (no wires) but anything connected to
the outside world (like phone modems, cable modems, power
outlets) etc. could be harmed.  A computer that is plugged
into the wall socket and a modem could really get walloped,
as the two connections form a big loop to accept magnetic
coupling.
