The point about it being almost exclusively a consumption device might be, in a way, extreme but not at all silly.
" It's a messaging device, a photo and video taking device, it's great for email, I record audio for my college classes on it etc."
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.

If we're going to reduce taking photos to a consumption of a service just because they go to Instagram or whatever, aren't we just consuming a service when we host an application we wrote on Heroku or AWS or DigitalOcean? Aren't we just consuming a service when we share code using Github or even when we send patches over an hosted email service? Where do you draw the line?
