Explanation:

All the kids from the whole neighbourhood came, laughing and shouting in the school yard, sitting together in the schoolroom, going home together at the end of day.” Isaac Asimov’s futuristic short story The Fun They Had so describes a school of our times.

In the story set on May 17, 2155, a girl named Mergie stumbles on an old book. Habituated to e-books, she considers the old dusty book a waste of paper. In her world, students do not gather in a building to be taught by human teachers. Mechanical teachers with dials and buttons instruct them, suited to the specific requirements of each student.

“A man can’t know as much as a teacher,” Mergie says surprised at the old-fashioned teaching-learning process. However, at the end of the story, she imagines the fun her great grandparents would have had in the schools of their times.

never imagined that such a situation would come, at least in my lifetime. But the outbreak of COVID-19 has convinced me that Asimov was right in his futuristic imagination, but perhaps a bit late in situating Mergie in the Anthropocene.

When I joined the teaching profession, I relished the thought of spending my entire life in academic institutions with a timetable and exams every semester and keeping on learning till my last breath. Teachers, students, assignments, end-terms would fill my life. All changed utterly with COVID-19. With no predictable date in sight when we can venture out, I too started exploring ways to be in touch with my students through digital platforms. But in the back of my mind, I am afraid that my students will get too accustomed to them like Mergie.
