What is the best product design from the point of view that the Pinyin input method is a disaster for Chinese characters?

I don't know which of the following Chinese and western cultures has integrated Chinese pinyin. This kind of thing is naturally not difficult, but it has brought a disaster to Chinese characters After computer invention. Of course, if Chinese people start to use English at the end, this Chinese Character disaster may not be a good thing, but in any case, it is definitely not the original intention of the Chinese pinyin designer. Because Chinese Pinyin is good at English, it is undoubtedly useless at all. On the other hand, it may not be at the beginning to eliminate Chinese characters from the daily use of the people.

What is the use of Chinese pinyin? It's just the pronunciation. What if there is no Chinese pinyin? In fact, there was a standard pronunciation method in ancient times. The four tones are our own things. I learned Chinese pinyin from an early age, and I want to know many terminologies, such as vowels, consonants, and hyphens. I can't tell you clearly. Many people may misunderstand that I did not learn pinyin well. In fact, it was a big mistake. I started from my childhood and learned pinyin very well. I didn't miss it in my memory, and I didn't lose my exam too much. Because I have a very good sense of language, I have been very strange how can there be students who cannot spell pinyin, and the pronunciation itself is pinyin? How can I read it? It can be seen that the end-to-end Pinyin is so absurd that many mechanical knowledge points are added to indicate a pronunciation, so that even if the student union reads this Chinese character, it cannot write its pinyin, I can read it now. Why do I need to write pinyin? Isn't pinyin just a pronunciation mark?

Of course, Pinyin is not used at all. It can indeed complete the task of breaking down the pronunciation. However, after I learned the English Phonetic Alphabet, I felt that Chinese pinyin was wrong at all, in fact, each Pinyin is not correct when it is read separately, because every Pinyin is pronounced in Chinese characters, but in fact, many of the speech after decomposition do not have the Chinese character. For example, if the pinyin "B" is used to read "be", the real pronunciation of "B" is actually not followed by "E.

In the past few decades, before the emergence of computers, Pinyin was not a disaster, but it had little impact on Chinese characters. In addition to the Year 12 level of primary school, we used Chinese characters in upper and daily life, however, the pronunciation is marked in Chinese pinyin, and this is indeed achieved.

After the advent of the computer age, the problem of Chinese Character Input began to attract attention immediately. Once upon a time, Wang Yuan was very prosperous and should be a good company now. How red was it? However, it is now defeated by a very common, non-creative input method. By the way, it is the Pinyin input method. I have practiced five input strokes on my own, and the input speed is faster than that of Pinyin, but I have been using pinyin for many years. Why? Because five are not standard input methods, many computers do not have them. The most terrible thing is that different five input methods have different codes, although the number percentage is not very large, however, you will often encounter a situation where you cannot change the input method. You will say that there are many solutions:

I have worked hard on five input methods and are familiar with various input methods. This method is too impractical.

Carry the five input methods that you are familiar with and install them with you. This is unrealistic. I have backed up the input methods that I am familiar with, but it is still very inconvenient.

It takes a small amount to switch a word to pinyin, but this method eventually allows me to switch to the Pinyin input method.

The Pinyin input method has the Lenovo function. This is a very powerful function and the real reason why I finally chose pinyin. There are too many Chinese homophone characters. The old Pinyin input method does not solve this problem. It's so crazy to choose pinyin. The goolge input method has the account synchronization function. If you are familiar with it, words will be backed up to the cloud, and cloud services will surely stay the same throughout the world. Believe it or not, I believe it.

Most importantly, as a product, the Pinyin input method has no learning cost. As long as you press the keyboard and you have learned Chinese pinyin, you can use the Pinyin input method. Other input methods of all kinds, you are advanced to the day, no matter how much advanced technology you use, how professional, skilled after 10 thousand words a minute, it is useless, because you don't have the time to learn.

So where is the disaster of the so-called Pinyin input method? Many people may not find that, especially those with relatively solid Chinese characters, Pinyin input methods may be an input tool, which has little impact on Chinese, but at least a bit, we have very few handwritten Chinese characters, for me, a remote word won't be written. Of course, I know it and how it reads it, but writing it on paper is another thing. Seriously, the younger generation has seen anyone who can read, type, or write? I have seen that I haven't graduated from junior high school, and the words are so fast that I can't write at all. Have you seen Mars? Have you ever seen the homophone error on the Internet? This writing has, in turn, affected the Chinese language itself. Many people are familiar with the syntax and typo that we thought were wrong.

Chinese characters are not just Chinese characters, but more importantly, they are languages. If the characters that represent the language can be changed, it is not a small matter to change the language itself, however, if the characters of a language change significantly, it is impossible to leave the language unaffected. Can I lose Chinese characters? Obviously, at present, we do not dare. In this case, it is inevitable that the Chinese characters on the network are the same as those on the input method of pinyin. A few years later, writing Chinese characters may already be a skill, just like writing a brush and calligraphy today. What we think today is wrong, it may be legal at that time, and it is already a standard word in textbooks, if you shout out the three original words in a hurry, you will say that you are so awkward and your tongue is straight.

I think the experts at present should do something that is not mentally retarded, that is, develop a standard code for five-stroke input methods, just like character encoding, and then take the school as a basic subject, every student has to master this standard of five codes from an early age. Of course, it may not be a five-stroke input method, but other input methods can also be used, but it must be reasonable. Pinyin input methods are prone to errors, which are essentially determined by a small number of Chinese characters. There are more than 300 Chinese pronunciations, however, there are 3000 commonly used Chinese characters. That is to say, 300 Chinese characters are definitely not enough. But in pinyin, the problem is that more than 300 Chinese characters are represented, and the rest is the choice, intelligent Input cannot avoid mistakes, because machines cannot write articles instead of people. More Chinese words are expressed in words, not just pronunciation.

From the popularity of Pinyin input methods, we can see that this phenomenon is to design a product. If you want to make it popular, this product is not necessarily the most efficient, but the most acceptable to users. I think the input speed and accuracy rate of the Pinyin input method will be defeated by the five input methods. Is it difficult to learn the five input methods? In fact, it is not difficult to learn. However, as long as there is a little difficulty, 90% of people will escape.

My son is 6 years old. He can play Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds without a teacher. When he is 3 years old, he can touch the keyboard and play CS, in addition, his "Plants vs. botnets" and "Angry Birds" are no worse than me. The final zombie doctor, I sometimes cannot go through, but he can pass. This tells us that we should try our best to design a simple product. If a 10-year-old child is using a poor product, it will inevitably not become popular. Go to kindergarten and ask some testers who can accurately test the success or failure of the product.

Supplement: I have read a lot of comments and want to explain them further.

1. The Chinese Character Input Method itself is not a native product. It is used to input Chinese characters on an English typewriter keyboard, so there must be problems. However, it turns out that both voice input and handwritten input cannot replace typing. Voice Input may not be mature yet, but it will affect others. In fact, I am not very optimistic about speech. After ordinary people do not write calligraphy (except for some professionals), the next step is not to speak (except some professionals ), furthermore, I can't even hear it. In the future, the biggest possibility is to control the display symbols of the screen. This speed is beyond the reach of the present method. People need to communicate. As long as they connect to each other's screens, they will be able to control the display of information, that is, they do not need to write it, and a new text system may be invented. Another phenomenon is the decline in human physical fitness, which eventually leads to the degradation of human beings into a developed creature with a simple brain and no hands or feet required. Do you think I'm kidding? From the biological point of view, this process will not be very fast, but it is not as slow as it used to be, and several hundred thousand years is enough to change some of the physiological characteristics of humans. Today, humans are actually weaker than ancient humans in terms of physical fitness, because physical activity is greatly reduced, but it may not be very obvious in physiology, because it is not long.

2. returning to the question of Pinyin, Chinese characters are associated with Chinese characters. Abandoning Chinese characters means that Chinese characters are abandoned. It is not a small task for a nation to use another language. Is there no such plan yet? Therefore, we should discuss Chinese. Chinese characters are pictogram characters, which are very different from the arrangement and combination of letters. English letters are arranged in sequence, Chinese characters are combined in various ways, and the combination of different roots is different, in short, it is more complex than English. But there is no simple logic like English. The overall development of Chinese characters is based on the top, and sound words are only auxiliary, not absolute. The pronunciation of Chinese characters is very different from that of Chinese characters. In addition, there are too few Chinese characters to read, which is far from enough to express Chinese characters. A Font Input Method is much easier than learning to write with a pen. If primary school students can learn to write Chinese characters by hand, there is no reason to learn a font input method. Now I suddenly think that although the country does not yet have this plan, there will almost always be such a standard in the future, because the fact is that handwritten Chinese characters will eventually be evicted from people's daily life.

3. the success of a product is in many aspects. One is the internal technical content. technology can make the product better. Many people understand the technology as a sell-out product. In fact, there is no good product without technology, this is almost certain. The current situation is that things with too many ideas, too few technologies, and no technical content will soon be imitated by others. The other is the difficulty of using the product. In some specific food-eating fields, it is difficult to use the product, and people also need to use it. However, once competition arises, reducing the difficulty of using the product remains the same. What is the essence of technology? Isn't it easier to make work easier? Of course, once it comes to reality, it becomes very complicated. commercial considerations and competitive considerations may all affect products. In fact, many of the products a user needs are the hope that, when he is sitting there, everything will be done. Although this requirement is not correct, he should try his best to satisfy him.

Finally, it is not that easy to design a product.
