Here are some key lessons we can learn from Nokia's downfall: - Technological innovation moves fast. Companies must continuously invest in R&D to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate emerging trends. Nokia focused too much on its existing Symbian platform. - Open platforms can gain mass adoption faster. While Nokia's Symbian was proprietary, Android was open source so it was adopted more widely by other manufacturers. - User experience matters greatly. Early Android and iOS devices offered touchscreen interfaces that were more intuitive than Symbian. Nokia was slow to transition to touch. - It's risky to rely on any single partner. Nokia bet big on Windows Phone but Microsoft's platform never gained critical mass.

Editor's Notes
- #32: PB – PetaByte (1PB = 1024 TB)
- #50: Large Circuit Board – “Motherboard” contains some of the most important parts of the computer: a) CPU – Central Processing Unit (brain inside the computer because it processes information and carries out instruction, since it tends to get hot it gets covered by a heatsink b) heatsink which draws heat away from the processor c) The motherboard also contains your RAM (Random Access Memory) – this is the short term memory that a computer will use whenever it is performing calculations however you can’t store your files in the RAM because it clears its memory when you turn off the computer d) For long term storage, you save your files in a hard drive, where it keeps all your data even when you turn off the computer. Most HD uses a magnetic platter to store data, but nowadays HD have solid state drives which are faster and more durable but also more expensive e) Expansion slots can be added if you want to upgrade your computer f) You can add a Video Graphics Card ( for better video quality) g) you can have wireless card ( for your computer to connect the WIFI) h) In order to run the computer, it needs electricity which can be stored in the power supply unit i) The Power Supply Unit is design to get electricity from the power outlets and sends it to other parts of the computer
