Anna Valtonen, senior researcher at the Nokia Design Archive, says Anna Valtonen, senior researcher at the Nokia Design Archive. at Nokia, including being responsible for leading design research and development.

Most of these shows date from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, when electronics became smaller and smaller, and the Internet made modern computing possible.

Or if you’re a grandparent in India, what’s most important to you?” Valtonen says.
