To sum up, the five-stroke input method has completely declined for several reasons.
First of all, the learning threshold of Wubi input method is very high.
Although the five-stroke input method is convenient and fast to use, it is not easy to learn. Of all the input methods, only Wu Bi input method appeared in the training course, because it was too complicated. You should not only remember the roots aligned with the 26 English letters, but also be familiar with all kinds of root combinations in order to type the correct words. This kind of learning difficulty discouraged many people, and finally chose the slower pinyin input method. Because many people don't make a living by typing, they don't have such high requirements for speed. Including the author once studied the five-stroke input method and finally chose to give up. It is also good to use pinyin input method now. Therefore, after entering the new century, the post-95 s and post-00 s groups will basically not use the five-stroke input method, but directly use input methods such as sogou and Baidu.
Secondly, the pinyin input method is becoming more and more intelligent.
The earliest pinyin input method is really difficult to use. You have to enter all the pinyin letters, and then you have to keep turning pages to find the text you want, which is very slow. Nowadays, with the blessing of Internet technology, the pinyin input method has become more and more intelligent. You don't need to enter all pinyin, you can come up with the words you want. Moreover, it also has a memory function. When you use this word frequently, it will always be recommended first. Very smart, meet your typing needs.
Third, people don't have such high requirements for typing.
In the past, people pursued fast typing, many of which were due to the needs of work. Such as typists, translators, etc. Now some posts have been eliminated and some have replaced tools. For ordinary people, it is enough to use pinyin input method, and it is unnecessary to spend time learning Wu Bi input method. So the demand for typing speed has dropped sharply.
Finally, the input method was replaced by other tools.
Young people nowadays are so simple and convenient. With the development of mobile Internet, the network speed is constantly improving, and more chat tools appear, such as voice, video and so on, which directly replace the input method. On the one hand, these tools replace a large number of text input requirements, on the other hand, they reduce the frequency of input methods. Every era has its own specific products. If you don't continue to innovate, you will only be eliminated. However, the five-stroke input method has made a great contribution in the history of computer development in China, and it is a very colorful and good product.
