Author's note: This is a response to "The Fun They Had and it's very futuristic at that time. I hope you like it, enjoy!
Visualize yourself sitting in an enclosed area with your schoolwork and a mechanical teacher. You have nobody to comfort you, but the cold metallic skin of your teacher. This was how they went to school in 2157 and it is nothing like our present day. What these people might not understand is that sometimes technology isn't enough.
If you asked a seventh grade kid, what their favorite class was, they would most likely say lunch. Lunch is a time where we interact with each other and get a break from learning. Now, fast forward into the year 2157. In Margie's time you see kids with no access to learning with their own kind. These children only learn with their own mind and clearly, this is not enough. This ironic lifestyle seems horrible, but to them it's just a regular day, but when they find information about a real school, this is when they think about their own life compared to ours.
Though we think about the future and how things would be so better. Sometimes we need to keep the techniques that work for us. It just isn’t enough to put a laptop in front of somebody and say, Here you go, this is everything you need to research and learn. With all of this technology around people have to understand that sometimes older things are better and you have to have people around you to comfort and help you learn as your life goes by.
