The book is really old and pages are yellow and cranky. in the year 2155, this kind of books doesn’t   exist anymore. In this time words are moving on a television screen. This television contains over a million of books. That is the reason , why Tommy thinks that they are much better. He has found the old book in the attic of his house. while reading, Tommy says that it is about school. Margie hates school and cannot understand why someone would write about it. She was having problems with learning geography from her 'mechanical teacher'. it was black, large and had a screen on it. It teaches the students, give them exercises and ask them questions, all in a special room in their own house. it can also calculate the marks in no times. Margie hates the slot where she has to insert her homework or test papers. once the geography sector of her mechanical teacher was graded too quick so that her marks got worse and worse. The county inspector rebuilt it after one hour. He was really nice to Margie. she hopped that her mechanical teacher would be away for a long time. Tommy says that the book which he has found(site), is not about their type of school, it is about school centuries ago. They find out that students back then had a man as a teacher who taught the girls and boys, gave them homework and asked them the question. they had a special building, at the children went to. And they learned the same thing. if they were the same age. At first, Margie does not understand how a person could be a teacher and how the students were thought the same thing because her mother says that education must fit each child's mind, but nevertheless, in her opinion, these schools are funny and she wants to read more about it. Then it is time for Margie and Tommy for their school. Margie goes to the schoolroom in her house, where the mechanical teacher stands. It is already on because the lessons are always at regular hours. She was thinking about the old school system and how much fun the children must have, learning and spending time together.

Explanation:

The fun they had is a story written by Isaac Asimov. The story is set in the future, precisely in the year 2157. It is about a time when paper books do not exist. Everything happens on the screen. And, the entire idea of school is different. For those children, school means going in the schoolroom(which is next to their bedroom) 'switching on the teacher', the mechanical teacher, listening to her explaining things in the same monotonous voice, submitting homework which is written in a punch code and getting the marks immediately. The two kids in the story are Margie and Tommy. One day Tommy finds a book. Nat a normal book, a telebook which moves on its own but a book with pages made of paper. The two read the book, fight a little on it and they understand the ancient school system (meaning the schools we lucky students would have been in if it wasn't for this horrible lockdown). The story ends with Margie thinking while the mechanical teacher is teaching her fractions that hoe the kids must have loved it in the old days. Sitting together, making fun of teachers(no offence ), doing homework together, laughing, learning and also the teachers were more like friends and parents, they were sensitive HUMAN BEINGS. Margie is thinking about the FUN THEY HAD(The fun we are having).
