Review of the Story "the Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov

The story "The Fun they had" tells about futuristic education. It predicts that in the coming years, robotic tutors will teach students. There will be no human teachers. I partially agree with this story. I don't feel that human teachers will replace with mechanical teachers.

A Plot of the Story: The chapter sets in the future because the year mentions in the story is 2157.

Main Characters:

1. Margie,11 a year old girl

2. Tommy,13 a year old boy

3. County inspector, a computer engineer

The theme of the chapter seems true because education has undergone many changes. Artificial technology has changed the perspective of education.

There are many online books and many Youtube videos available. So that students can complete their syllabus without going to school

As the chapter says, it will diminish the identity of the human teacher completely It is not applicable because an instructor is the only one who understands the feelings of his learner. Computer teachers cannot understand the learners.

If I compare this story to real life, it seems that real books may replace with online books. However, it will not vanish the identity of original books as it is an asset from ancient years.

Moreover, there is a possibility that the education will be online. However, teachers must be there to teach the children. A teacher does not teach the subjects only but also teaches moral values to young learners.

The time of Corona proves that the online mode of education is not beneficial for especially juniors. At that time, there was a huge loss of studies of school-going children. Although, teachers taught them online yet students were not able to focus on studies.

Thus, this fiction is readworthy. It gives the Knowledge of how education is going to be changed. It also recalls the importance of teachers in the students' life.
