The ubiquity of pinyin-based digital input methods is causing a lot of younger generations to lose the ability to write Chinese characters by hand without looking them up online. Abbreviated acronyms due to a mix of censorship&amp;#x2F;laziness is also becoming common making a lot of online messages look rather cryptic to anyone who doesn&amp;#x27;t know the lingo.</text></comment>

Maybe it&amp;#x27;s a generational thing, but the only use of ワープロ I know of is for the latter (do a google image search for ワープロ, and compare to a google image search for word processor).&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d say the expression ワープロ馬鹿 is probably very outdated.</text></comment>
