Justify the title of the story The Fun They Had
Answers
The main theme in the short story “The Fun They Had” by Isaac Asimov is that of education. More specifically, the narrative deals with the future of education which will become increasingly computerized and estranged from social interactions. The author’s message is one of warning against the dangers of computerized homeschooling which deprives children of the benefits of the personal interactions between students and teachers, which help them develop social skills.
The title 'The Fun They Had' is pretty much justified because the story tells us about the discovery of a book by two children from centuries ahead in future and their understanding of the schools from the past, where students went to a common building and were taught by human teachers.
