Summary:

• **Kodak's Multi-Purpose Device**: In 2001, Kodak created a device called the MC3 that could do many things like take pictures, play music, and store files, but it couldn't make phone calls like a mobile phone could. It was ahead of its time because it combined lots of different tools into one gadget.

• **Early Technology Innovation**: The MC3 showed how companies were trying to combine different technologies together before smartphones became popular. Even though it didn't become a successful product, it was an important step in showing what devices could do in the future.
