> It's a bummer that so much of computing has moved from content creation devices to content consumption devices.

I continue to find this assessment of phones and tablets impossible to relate to. The very-portable device with multiple cameras, microphones, various other sensors, maybe stylus support built-in, is in most cases in which I’m creating anything in my personal life vastly more useful than a laptop or desktop computer. This seems to also be what many people who create real things for work have decided. (I do computer-things with computers for pay, so it’s different for me there)

I could have been clearer, what I said wouldn't apply to cameras, I was only talking about things that could be done on a desktop. If a phone can capture audio/video in the field freeing people up from having to carry a separate camera, that is a good thing.
