The point about it being almost exclusively a consumption device might be, in a way, extreme but not at all silly.<p>&quot; It&#x27;s a messaging device, a photo and video taking device, it&#x27;s great for email, I record audio for my college classes on it etc.&quot;
Majority of what you are referring to as productive tasks are merely the users consuming various services on offer. Although they are useful devices, I agree with the opinion that any significant production work is rarely performed on them. If anything the we subject ourselves to unnecessary consumption more than increasing our productivity.
