In the Internet age, writing is increasingly becoming a luxury skill. With the popularity of computers and printers, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for handwriting in life and work, and it is common to forget words when writing. According to a recent survey, 83% people have forgotten their words, 74.2% people have little chance to write in their work and life, and 68.8% people have not received other people's handwritten manuscripts for more than one year. Handwriting has gradually withdrawn from people's lives, but it does not mean that handwriting is not important. Many people insist that it is very important to write good Chinese characters, while more people worry that Chinese character culture will be ignored. Some experts even suggested that "writing with a brush in the college entrance examination will add points". So, who has stopped writing and who is still writing? In today's computer age, what is the significance of handwriting? With the popularization of computers, the mouse has replaced the pen more and more, and more and more people use it to forget words. Even if we sometimes write it right, we can't believe it ourselves, and we always feel unfamiliar. In this regard, people concerned call for not giving up the art of daily writing and calligraphy. For example, the computer penetration rate in Japan is very high, but "writing bytes" is still held every year. On this day, thousands of Japanese people gathered to write big characters, and the scene was spectacular. However, as the ancestor of China's calligraphy, China is increasingly squeezed into smaller and smaller space by computer writing, which makes people think deeply. Whether in the computer age or in the information society, we should not neglect calligraphy and writing. According to the survey, most people are not used to handwriting. A netizen said: "When you go to the bank to deposit money, you often don't know how to write the number 1234." Another netizen said: "Now it is estimated that except his own name, everything else is written like a dog crawling, and he often forgets words. His first reaction was to write pinyin. " In the reporter's interview, the average interviewee said that there was no pen at home. Qiu Feng, a famous critic, said: "In the computer age, it is helpless that people can't write, which is certainly not a good thing. In fact, no matter what language, Chinese or foreign language, the characters themselves have very rich cultural connotations. Writing is not only an expression, but also an understanding and approach to the cultural connotation behind writing. Alienation of words can lead people to forget culture. What is worrying is that networking and computerization are unstoppable, and forgetting words is getting younger and younger. " Indeed, for the post-70 s and post-80 s, the age when they stopped writing was mostly in college. For most people of this age, handwriting is still their only way of writing in primary and secondary schools, but by the time they graduate from college, the chances of handwriting are getting less and less, so that most people only write when they sign their names. For the post-90s generation and beyond, with the popularity of computers and the Internet, more middle school students begin to use computers to do their homework, and the age of bidding farewell to handwriting is getting lower and lower. The popularity of computers and the retirement of pens with good handwriting were once the goals and dreams of many people, but with the advent of the computer age, this dream suddenly broke. After paperless office, office software has gradually developed, which may be followed by no pen. At least for now, the pen has been withdrawn from the office and replaced by a gel pen. But for older people, gel pens can never replace pens. A supervisor of a public institution said: "Now all offices use gel pens. The advantages of gel pen are that it doesn't need to be filled with ink, it doesn't stick to ink when writing, it is convenient to carry, it doesn't leak ink, and it won't appear the problem that clothes pockets often stick to ink in the past. But I still prefer the pen, because the pen strokes are very sharp and can write glyphs. Whether in English or Chinese, pens are better than gel pens, so I will choose pens as long as I have the conditions. " Pen not only quit the office, but also quit the school. Although most primary and middle school students still write their homework with pens, most of them use gel pens, and few people use pens anymore. Walking into stationery stores in Beijing, pens are no longer the mainstream of stationery stores. A stationery store owner told reporters, "Now basically all pens are sold, because they have more colors and styles than pens, and they are easy to use and the price is relatively low." The charm of writing is not only to understand culture, but also a way to express yourself. In China tradition, words are like people, but in front of the same electronic documents, what is their personality? Qiu Feng said, "Handwriting is very different from computer writing. Calligraphy itself is an art, and good handwriting is often pleasing to the eye. You can say that computers also have many fonts, but in fact, no matter how many fonts a computer has, it will always be formatted. A handwritten letter, a handwritten manuscript, you can learn a lot from it, such as this person's personality, cultural background and so on, but what can you learn from an email? I can't see anything. The development of electronic civilization has indeed contributed to the world, but as far as writing is concerned, computers can only make the world more monotonous. " In addition, electronic documents also lack the texture of paper. Autumn wind said: "I personally feel deeply, and words and paper are engraved with a person's feelings and experiences." We used to write by hand, and there was a pile of manuscript paper, page by page, which looked very textured. Five years later, ten years later, I read what I wrote before and felt very special, which was not in the electronic document. Electronic documents all look the same and have no sense of history. This problem may be solved when the technology is more developed in the future, but now electronic text is really not as good as handwriting in this respect. "The more serious problem of new technology eroding civilization is that computerization and networking have promoted the writing of the whole people and also led to the decline of the writing level. In the era of handwriting, writers are always cautious about words. Every article, every sentence and even every word often has to be scrutinized many times. This rigorous attitude towards words has disappeared in the computer age. Undeniably, computers and networks are more convenient for people to find and store information, and writing with computers is faster, but they also provide convenience for laziness. There are more and more shoddy articles now. How many people are willing to search when you can simply copy and paste an article? Qiu Feng said: "The biggest problem of computer writing is the lack of seriousness in writing, which is the main reason for the decline of writing level. Not only the level of writing, professional papers and literary works, but also the level of decline is serious, and computers are hard to blame. "The computer age is overwhelming. How can we restore the glory of words? In this regard, Qiu Feng said: "Maybe we can only rely on cultural consciousness. People have invented many technologies, which tend to erode civilization, but once this erosion develops to a serious degree, some people will inevitably stand up and oppose it, thus setting off a retro style. This may be a rule! I think the erosion and impact of computers on writing civilization will inevitably rebound in the end. At that time, perhaps more people will pay attention to handwriting in turn.
