Colleagues see Wubi as an outlier and a loner. At the beginning, I chose the Wubi input method, not because it caters to the trend, but because of the popular choice at that time. In addition, I personally feel the convenience of it, and when I press a button, the words leap to the document like a dragon; Hit the key twice, and a word will spring up like a spring; The coherent keys form a smooth text, which is admirable for its efficiency. In contrast, after tapping the keyboard with the Pinyin input method, it still takes a lot of time to find the desired word among the many options that pop up.
Recalling the era when Wubi was popular, there was a news report that a Wubi input method contest was held in Shandong, and a teenager won the championship at a speed of 300 words per minute. The news screen presents the scene of the competition, the contestants sit solemnly in front of the computer, and the input text is like dancing on the screen, coherent and non-stop scrolling, and the modification is done in one go, all of them are the best among the masters.
Looking back on the most skillful moments of the year, I can barely type seventy or eighty words a minute. Among his colleagues, he has already become a high-profile fast hand with such an agile speed, especially the object of admiration of a group of little girls.
Did you know? Tie Ge used five strokes throughout the typing process. ”
That's right, and it's still a blind type, and I haven't looked at the keyboard all the time. ”
Compared with the pinyin input method, the only trouble with Wubi is that Pinyin has been imprinted in the brain since elementary school, and learning Wubi needs to start again, first have to remember the seemingly huge, complex roots like a book in the sky.
Wang next to the green head (concurrently) May 1st, Tushi two dry ten inch rain, big dog three (sheep) ancient stone factory, Mu Dingxi, Gong Ge grass head right frame seven. The eyes are on the tiger skin, the morning two vertical and insect Yi, the mouth and the river, the root of the word is sparse, and the four cars of the Tianjia frame are ......
Looking back on that time, it is as if you were in a mysterious world of coding. The Wubi input method is like a labyrinth, dividing the English alphabet into five mysterious areas, and the "Book of Heaven" I have mastered only occupies two of them. The root of each sentence is concentrated in a single letter key, and the combination of different keys can almost give birth to unique words, and only in rare cases there will be multiple choices.
With just four keystrokes, I was able to present the words, phrases, and even phrases I needed. In most cases, this is easy with just one or three keystrokes. However, if you want to type large passages more accurately and quickly, you must master a set of skills such as word splitting formulas, last pen recognition code decisions, and last pen formulas. Only in this way can you truly master the essence of Wubi input method.
Becoming a speed master is not an easy task, and it requires constant practice and polishing. Eventually, the fingers will use muscle memory to mechanically dance on the desired root key, and there is no need to stop thinking. It is with these advantages, Wubi input method in 2000 or so for more than ten years swept the country, the number of users as high as tens of millions, and the invention of Wubi input method Wang Yongmin also became famous in 1983.
However, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. With the rapid rise of various input methods, as well as the increasing perfection of the association function of input methods, people's choice space is getting broader and broader. In this day and age, not only are there a variety of input methods to choose from, but voice input has become commonplace, and even input actions have become effortless and labor-saving. In this context, Wubi input gradually lost its former glory, and its share was squeezed out by other input methods, and gradually faded out of people's field of vision. According to reports, the market share of Wubi Input is now only 3%, which has become a memory that the generation does not want to let go.
