Computer-induced agraphia is a newly emerging “illness” among people who use computers all the time. Its symptom is the partial loss of the ability to write correct Chinese characters with pen and paper. Unlike usual agraphia, a disorder¹ marked by loss of the ability to write, it has nothing to do with brain damage and can often be cured if the “patient” is willing to pick up the pen and paper again.

 

“电脑失写症(computer-induced agraphia)”是新出现的一个“病种”，多出现于长期电脑使用者身上，其症状主要表现为用纸笔写字的时候常常会出错。我们平时所说的“失写症”指的是因脑部损伤导致书写能力完全丧失的一种病症，但“电脑失写症”与此无关，而且，只要拿起纸笔勤加练习一段时间，书写能力自然就会恢复。
