"Don't just pick something that sounds pretty, pick something that means something to you, or reminds you of him, her, or it. You'll score brownie points if it's clear you mean it," Dojima finished.

"Let's talk about cell phones," Steve announced today. "By now you have probably been introduced to the concept, if not, a telephone is a device that allows you to communicate instantaneously with people over long distances, and they've been around for over a hundred years, so some of you are probably already familiar, while the cell phone is a wireless version you can carry with you anywhere. They're a relatively new invention, only really becoming widespread around the turn of the century. Most have additional features, such as a camera and the ability to connect to the internet, and some go even further.
