While I mostly agree on the computer comment, I largely disagree on phones (not apple, iphones are pretty IoT paperweights without a lot of hoop jumping and prostrating to apple). You can absolutely do some amazing things on a phone. I've been living in terminal (via termux) on my phone (android) for a while now as a little personal challenge, using micro to write python TUI apps as I need them. I have file system, etc. and since I have access to sensor data I can make some pretty nifty things happen fast. Need an app to remind me to set parking app so I don't get another fine? Easy done, can do it on my walk to the office. I think we're all ignoring phones a bit due to the learning curve and inconvenience when compared to traditional computing. Now I couldn't imagine doing some serious analysis via phone but also with things such as jupyter notebook or similar for R, it isn't a stretch to believe you could get some rudimentary step by step kinda stuff going. Hands down, I would choose a proper keyboard and multi-monitor setup any day of the week, but the difference expressed through metaphor in terms of working cars puts phones more in line with a hatchback than a scooter as most people seem to think. A hatchback is often perfectly sufficient and at times, preferable.
