Why is the Wubi input method not popular now?

The computer can be said to be a very important invention in the history of mankind, from the beginning only as a computing tool, to now through the computer and its connected network, we can know all kinds of things happening in various parts of the world for the first time. And the help of computers in work and life is undoubtedly very huge, it can be said that without computers, the world today would not be what it is now. If you want to communicate with the world through the computer, the most basic operation is to type, and we all know that the computer was invented by a foreign country, and how to convert English into Chinese and input it into the computer when it was just introduced to China has become the biggest problem.

Under the general trend at that time, many people understood that maybe the computer would bring great changes to the world, and as a developed country that China should not lag behind the West, some people actually proposed to directly abandon Chinese characters and input letters according to foreign habits. But our Chinese characters have been passed down for thousands of years, how can the wise Chinese nation give up so easily? So Professor Wang Yongmin, who was still a guy at the time, invented the five-stroke input method in 1983 after five years of research, and it took several years to popularize it throughout China, and later Professor Wang Xiaolong invented the pinyin input method, which completely solved the problem of Chinese typing.

But we also know that although the pinyin input method is very convenient and fast, but the complex words have many meanings and pronunciations, and if you want to type it accurately, you have to find it on the keyboard for a while. And the five-stroke input method can reach a typing speed of about 15 crosses per minute, since the speed advantage is so big, why is the five-stroke input method now so unpopular?

Actually, there is a reason for this. First of all, we have learned pinyin since childhood, which is a very basic thing, and when we use pinyin input method, it will not be so difficult to get started. But the five input method needs to re-memorize those cumbersome roots and shortcodes,If you want to achieve a speed of about 100 words per minute, you have to study for several days first,The intensity during this period is not small。

And for most ordinary people,We usually don't need such a fast typing speed,So everyone is still more willing to use the familiar Pinyin input method。

But this is not to say that the Wubi input method has withdrawn from the stage of history because of this,You must know that the Wubi input method after a long time of training and familiarity,The speed can even break through a hundred words per minute,Even some people can reach a speed of 100 or dozens of speeds,This is the speed that Pinyin input method can not achieve。 Although we ordinary people don't usually use it, such as banks or civil departments of public units, the use of Wubi input method can greatly improve their work efficiency, they are more willing to use Wubi input method.
