1.What is the conflict in the fun they had?
Dear student,
The story 'The fun they had' underlines the conflict of the choice between humans and robotic machines for different services. Margie's teacher is a mechanical one: she has to study set lessons and do homework that is also assessed by a machine. There is no scope of a personal touch, a caring hand or a warm, affectionate hug from a human teacher: That is something any child is sure to miss. Also, the schools of the future do not give children the opportunity to interact with other children or adults in schools, thus hindering the development of social skills. The chapter brings forth the debate of the pros and cons of mechanisation in every field of life.
Regards
