Faced with Professor He's honest admission of error, the hundreds of thousands of netizens who had come specifically to curse him after watching Lin Feng's latest video quickly lost their anger.
After all, making mistakes isn't scary; what's scary is refusing to admit them. Now that Professor He had acknowledged his mistake, they naturally had no more anger towards him.
Following that, they became quite curious about Professor He's call to ban the sale of handwriting robots. Why had he been so insistent on banning them?
It had been almost a month since Professor He started calling for this. Could the handwriting robot truly be an evil thing that incited uncontrollable rage?
Driven by curiosity, they began searching for information related to handwriting robots and were subsequently astonished.
It had been several months since the invention of the handwriting robot, and people had already found many creative ways to use it.
Using it to write lesson plans, copy legal statutes, compile archival materials, and take meeting minutes were just standard operations for consumers. Copying homework with it had practically become a trend and a routine practice.
On major video-sharing websites, many students excitedly shared videos showcasing how powerful the handwriting robot was and how great it was for copying homework.
However, the comments from these students made the adults watching the videos unable to help but frown, as this kind of homework copying was detrimental to students.
A moderate amount of homework could deepen students' understanding and consolidate their memory, but excessive homework could lead to them being overwhelmed and even mentally breaking down.
The fact that these students were directly copying their homework was essentially ruining countless students.
Faced with this situation, how could netizens who understood the relevant circumstances not frown? Consequently, they also began to support the ban on selling handwriting robots.
However, before they could ponder for long, they were surprised to find a notice on Weibo that had climbed into the top five trending topics in just half a day!
This notice was from the Ministry of Education. In it, they clearly stated their rejection of formalism and bureaucracy, emphasizing the importance of practical results and effectiveness, and completely abandoning the "handwriting fetish."
The notice claimed that the Education Network APP would be officially launched soon, and from then on, lesson plans would be written electronically. This would reduce paper waste, improve the efficiency of teachers creating lesson plans, and also facilitate inspections by superiors.
Furthermore, the article mentioned that the upcoming Education Network APP would support a scanning function. This function could directly scan and analyze whether the text was handwritten or machine-written, completely preventing students from copying homework.
Witnessing this notice, countless Weibo netizens exclaimed that Lin Feng was amazing, as he had successfully changed the world!
Although the entire notice did not mention the handwriting robot or Lin Feng by name, everyone knew that this notice was specifically targeting the handwriting robot, or rather, the formalism behind it.
At this moment, Lin Feng, through the handwriting robot, had successfully changed the status quo of Daxia's education industry, directly liberating 18 million teachers from the drudgery of handwriting lesson plans.
From now on, they would no longer have to spend a third of their time handwriting lesson plans. While lesson plans were unavoidable, they would now be converted from handwritten to electronic format.
The fatigue from handwriting three thousand characters versus typing three thousand characters was vastly different.
Didn't you see how online writers, who churn out tens of thousands or even thirty thousand characters daily, don't seem tired? The only thing that troubles them is how much time is wasted correcting typos and polishing their work.
Therefore, compared to handwriting, typing is truly not tiring at all and saves more time. It's no wonder this news notice directly entered Weibo's top five in just half a day.
It was simply because the teachers were too excited and happy. It could be said that countless female teachers across the country would probably want to kiss Lin Feng upon seeing him.
If there were a popularity rating, Lin Feng's popularity among the 18 million teachers nationwide would have directly reached 99%, with the remaining 1% being the older teachers who didn't know how to type on a computer.
However, to accommodate the older teachers, it was estimated that the so-called Education Network APP would likely support a function for uploading handwritten lesson plans. This way, they would only need to take a photo of their handwritten lesson plans with their phones and upload it.
Unfortunately, while one group rejoiced, another grieved. As the popularity of Lin Feng among the 18 million teachers nationwide soared to 99%, hundreds of millions of students across the country were likely to be dejected.
After all, the so-called Education Network APP could directly scan and detect whether it was real handwriting or machine-written handwriting.
This also meant that they could no longer think about copying homework and would have to honestly do their own. How could this not make students feel dejected?
Fortunately, along with that notice, a policy document emphasizing the practical avoidance of mechanical and ineffective training, and strictly prohibiting repetitive and punitive homework assignments, was also issued.
However, because these official notices and documents were too formal, most students, except for a small minority, disliked reading them and naturally remained unaware of the changes in the education sector.
But whether they knew or not didn't matter much. In a short time, they would discover that the homework assigned by their teachers had suddenly decreased, and the phenomenon of having to copy a section of text N times until their hands ached would disappear.
It could be said that Lin Feng, with just one handwriting robot, had truly changed history and liberated countless students from suffering.
He had also successfully pioneered the Education Network APP, which didn't exist in his previous life, and changed the status quo of teachers nationwide having to handwrite lesson plans.
Furthermore, this APP's ability to identify whether text was handwritten or machine-written had also changed the fate of countless students in his previous life who used handwriting robots to copy homework!
Of course, there was a price to pay. Currently, students and teachers were among the three major groups purchasing and using handwriting robots.
With the Ministry of Education's announcement, the monthly sales of the handwriting robot, which were already less than 1,500 units, were bound to plummet further.
At that point, even selling 1,000 units a month would be a stroke of luck; sales would likely be only a few hundred units per month, equivalent to a loss of over a hundred thousand yuan each month.
However, for Lin Feng, compared to the tens of thousands of yuan lost monthly, he was more delighted by the other benefits he gained rather than how much money he earned less each month.
This was because, following the Ministry of Education's announcement, Lin Feng's personal Weibo page received over 1.5 million comments in just one day.
These comments were almost entirely from teachers, expressing their sincere gratitude to Lin Feng.
They stated that without Lin Feng's handwriting robot, the Ministry of Education would not have paid such close attention to the matter, and therefore, Lin Feng was the great contributor to everything.
Along with their heartfelt thanks, Lin Feng's Weibo follower count had quietly risen to 4.82 million!
