Not that we are religious here at FG but this _religious [...]

Who says that geeks have no social skills at all? Well, if we were to ask the employers of the graduates of Neumont University, they would probably not hesitate to say yes. As a matter of fact, they have filed some complaints to that effect.

How attached are you to your electronic gadgets? I bet that a day does not go by without you fiddling around with at least one of your gadgets. I’d even go as far as to say that not an hour goes by without you having the need to check or use your phone, [...]
