If you got that form that comment, I don't understand your first comment. It's clear to you that smartphones are being used to create content, but you still think they aren't content creation devices, because they lack precision?

If content creation devices aren't the devices that create content, then what are they?

I think that's a very good question. It's clear that devices like that are useful for some form of content creation, but I'm don't know if the term to refer to them has been coined or not.

Intuitively, they don't seem to fit in the category we used to call "content creation", since that nearly always was synonymous with creation+precision, rather than "any kind of creation".


They can be used to create exactly three kinds of content: photos, audio recordings and videos. Yay.

Have fun writing a novel, designing a presentation, remixing a song or making a video game on a smartphone.
