I think it can be explained from the following three aspects:

1. The function of text

Carrying information and transmitting information. The birth of writing marks the beginning of human civilization, and writing records and transmits human civilization. In modern civilization, people use words to communicate business documents, sign contracts, issue announcements, etc. This ensures that the information is not attenuated or distorted during the transmission process. Therefore, in formal occasions, handwritten materials or documents are rarely used, which is also a kind of standardization.

2. Technological progress

The emergence of typewriter printing replaced the original writing habit. Since the birth of writing, people have used writing to record words and transmit information. Everyone will inevitably have sloppy handwriting when writing, and it is easy for ambiguity and confusion to occur. With the advancement of technology today, computer typing avoids misunderstandings caused by irregular writing. Moreover, computer typing is much faster than handwriting, and printing technology is so mature. In high-paced work scenarios, this is also a need for work efficiency.

3. Survival first

The economic base determines the superstructure. Only after people solve their own food and clothing problems can they have the leisure to enjoy the beauty of writing. But how many people can live comfortably with such high housing prices? Our country's economy is developing at a rapid pace, but the pressure on people's lives is gradually increasing, especially in first-tier cities. Nine to five is not a real work scenario, and working overtime is almost the norm for most people. With such a high intensity of work, do you have the time and leisure to sit down and write?

However, many people have now realized the beauty of recording in words. Many girls write journals, record anecdotes from their travels, and even record breakfast recipes, books and movies they have watched. etc. When we don’t have to worry about the daily necessities and trivial matters in life, we have the ability to build our own spiritual home.
