Answers
ANSWER:
In the chapter “The fun they had”, Margie was 11 years old and Tommy was 13 years of age.
EXPLANATION:
Story “the fun they had” is light story about school life which is set in future. This story starts with Margie writing a diary entering about Tommy finding a printed book. This reminds Margie about her grandfather who once told about his grandfather, who used to go to school, had real friends and read from printed books. However, it was quite unimaginable for Margie and Tommy as they are living in 2157 where they have computerized study rooms and mechanized teachers to taught them.
They only read from e-books and they have only virtual classes so no real friends. When these computers become faulty they are repaired by county inspectors. Margie hates her mechanized teachers and she wonders how fun it was to be when children used to go to school, read from printed book and had real friends.
