It all started in 2000 where writing Chinese word become easy using strokes on touch screen. Using pinyin to covert into Chinese words are a pain in the arse for the Chinese in PC.
What is it?
1. Touch screen technology.
The first pen touch screen pad was invented to draw cartoons on PC. This is the first animation program invented. Using pixel technology to link together to draw a stroke of a line, circle and scripple.
Then MS took this technology for their first touch screen PC monitor but failed miserably because a dirty screen don't appeal to users.
But touch screens were already used by bank teller machines and finance industry before MS try it for PC use.
Then the sex industry, again sex sells, use it on sex game where you rub on the screen to get the penis up in animation intechnology.
2. This drawing program appeal to Chinese to use it for writing Chinese word on a touch screen.
China invented the first algorithm technology to guess the Chinese word when the user stroke a few lines on the touch screen. They invented 五笔 program for writing Chinese word on touch screen.
This 五笔 program make it easier to use on Chinese social media website and now even pinyin is drop from use on Wechat .... the advanced Chinese word algorithm make it easier for the Chinese to scripple a few stroke of lines can guess the word for them.
Now even use of pinyin was dropped but Chinese are trained to remember first sound of the alphabet of pinyin a, m, t, p, b,q x, j, z and the algorithm can combine them to guess list of 字 成语 俗语 for the user. How cool is that.....
The Chinese are materialistic people and if they want it they will find ways to invent it to enrich their life and make life better and must make money one...
