Chapter 20: Is the handwriting robot a scourge?
……
That afternoon, when Internet portals such as NewLang, Wangxun, Chuohu, and Penguin all reported news about handwriting robots from a surprising perspective, a heavy blow hit them.
Professor He, who has been working in the field of education in Beijing for many years, is upright and has trained countless talents. He is respected as a "model teacher". He posted a long article on Weibo, publicly criticizing Lin Feng and his invention, the handwriting robot.
"Students use it to copy homework, fooling their teachers and their own future.
Clerks within the system use it to copy and transcribe meeting minutes, files, and materials to fool themselves and their superiors!
Teachers use it to copy and transcribe handwritten lesson plans to fool students and superiors!
What is the difference between Lin Feng's invention of this handwriting robot and a Dobo machine? I suggest that such products be banned from sale! "
This was the warning that Professor He published in his article, and this warning also successfully caused Weibo readers to think deeply.
As they thought about it, they found that this handwriting robot really didn't make much sense to humans.
In some ways, the invention of these things is even harmful to human beings, work, study, and society.
Because people buy handwriting robots for the purpose of having them copy homework, write handwritten lesson plans, take meeting minutes, and keep archives...
And these jobs should be done by people themselves. This is actually just fooling yourself and your superiors!
In a sense, the facts are indeed as Professor He said. The significance of inventing this handwriting robot is actually the same as that of inventing the Dobo machine. It is harmful to humans!
As a result, this article became an instant hit and was reposted by many Weibo users. In just one day, the number of clicks exceeded 600 million, and it directly entered the top ten on Weibo that day. You can imagine how sharp this article was.
But the bad things for Lin Feng did not end there, because it did not take long before major Internet news websites and newspapers reprinted the article.
The incident then officially spread from online to offline, and the scope of its impact further expanded.
Faced with such a situation, those UP hosts who were already unhappy with Raymond Lam, especially those led by Bilibili, naturally took action.
They edited the articles with their own understanding and published them on Internet websites and apps such as Youku, Tudou, Station A, Station B, and Kuaishou, further expanding the number of readers.
As a result, more and more people criticized Raymond Lam and the handwriting robot online and offline.
As the saying goes, "many mouths can melt metal." When only one person criticizes or slanders someone, the listeners may not fully believe it, or may just laugh it off and ignore it.
But if many people criticize or slander someone together, then the negative voice will be amplified and people will believe the bad words that are groundless or exaggerated.
And the most important thing is that after Professor He spoke out, it was like a domino effect, and several well-known professors from all over the country publicly wrote in newspapers or on Weibo to condemn the handwriting robot and criticize Lin Feng!
Point out how evil the birth of handwriting robots is and how much they will disrupt social order, and give examples to prove how harmful they are to adults, especially students.
What they hate most is the impact on students. They believe that doing homework well is not only a good way for students to consolidate their knowledge, but also a good reflection of their serious attitude. Therefore, handwriting robots should not exist at all. Daxia should completely ban the circulation of such products to avoid further harm to more students!
With so many condemning remarks, many people who didn't know Raymond Lam had a very bad first impression of him, and many people who knew him shook their heads, so Raymond Lam's personal image began to collapse.
Lin Feng's image as a research and development genius, which he had worked so hard to establish through documentaries and the "I Love Inventions" program team, was ruined by one article after another!
Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Although the sales of the handwriting robot actually skyrocketed amid this wave of negative public opinion, the highest sales volume has increased from 6 units to 10 units, which means that the company has made an extra profit of nearly million yuan.
But what Lin Feng cares about is not how much money he makes, but his image as a super genius in the eyes of the world, or to be more precise, the human gene enhancement potion and the Ark reactor.
They are all related to Raymond Lam's ultimate dream, which is to break out of the earth and travel through the starry sky!
The conservative elements, led by Professor He, have directly led people to change their impressions of him through article after article. This is simply cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents!
Indeed, Lin Feng believes that several professors headed by Professor He may be truly public-spirited and are truly condemning him for the sake of the country and the people.
But it was a fact that they seriously disrupted Lin Feng's plan of turning a falsehood into reality, so Lin Feng had to speak out.
Two days later, Lin Feng posted a long article with text and pictures on the Weibo account where Professor He first posted, in order to refute Professor He’s article that day.
Subsequently, a video edited by Chen Hang after working overtime was released. The video is actually the same as the article content. It is a 13-minute video produced based on the core theme of the article.
This video has three themes. The first theme is to explore why handwriting robots are so popular. What is the reason for their popularity?
The answer is formalism!
The first formalism is the formalism of teachers towards students, which is to force them to assign a large amount of repetitive and punitive homework.
These homework assignments are somewhat helpful for students' learning, but the effect is not actually that great.
Therefore, in order to curb this phenomenon in 2021, the education department also issued a series of policies such as "double reduction", repeatedly emphasizing the need to avoid mechanical and ineffective training, and strictly prohibiting the assignment of repetitive and punitive homework.
The second formalism is the school’s formalism towards teachers. They require teachers to handwrite lesson plans!
The so-called lesson plan is the class plan and course plan. Simply put, it is what will be taught in a certain class. In theory, it can improve teaching efficiency and facilitate inspection.
Although this thing may not seem like a big deal, it actually takes several hours to write and can make your fingers sore.
This is actually a form of formalism. It's 2013 now. Who can't use a computer or type? Why can't we type?
But there is no way. Since the school has asked me to do so, I have to write the lesson plan by hand. I can’t just not write it.
So I have to spend one-third of my time every day writing lesson plans by hand.
Today is Tuesday, a moment of absolute destiny. Please recommend, please vote for me, and please leave comments.
