- 2. (b) 2157 — It is set in 2157.
- 3. (c) printed book — They find an old printed book.
- 4. (d) mechanical teachers — They are taught by mechanical teachers.
- 5. A real, old-fashioned printed book.
- 6. Alone at home by mechanical teachers.
- 7. The story draws a sharp contrast between two very different kinds of schooling. In the future world of 2157, children like Margie study completely alone at home, taught by mechanical teachers through electronic telebooks, with lessons fixed and impersonal; Margie finds this lonely and joyless and dislikes her mechanical teacher. When she and Tommy discover a real printed book, they learn about schools of the past — the very schools we know today — where children went to special buildings, sat together in classrooms, and were taught by human teachers. To Margie, this old way of learning seems wonderful, full of companionship and fun. Through this contrast, Asimov shows that learning together with other children and being taught by real human teachers brings warmth and enjoyment that machines cannot provide, making the reader appreciate the human side of education.
