In the story "The Fun They Had," Margy and Tommy experience an entirely different way of learning, where mechanical teachers and school rooms replace traditional classrooms and human teachers. Mechanical teachers are robots programmed with a vast amount of knowledge and information. They are impersonal and lack human emotions, strictly following the curriculum and providing instant feedback to the students. They are capable of answering any question asked by the students and can handle multiple students at the same time. However, they avoid any physical contact with the students.

The school rooms, on the other hand, are equipped with mechanical teachers for every subject and consist of individual cubicles for each student. They are monitored by cameras and microphones to ensure students' compliance and provide a sterile and controlled environment for learning. Students are isolated from each other and cannot interact, eliminating distractions and disruptions. However, students have no freedom of movement or choice of activities, and the learning experience lacks the social and emotional aspects of traditional classrooms.

In conclusion, the mechanical teachers and school rooms in the story offer a unique way of learning, but the lack of human connection and emotional engagement raises questions about the effectiveness of such an approach.

Their schools are in their homes itself. The mechanical teacher is not a human (obviously ), Margie and Tommy write their homeworks and tests in a punch code. Then thy have to put it in the place provided by the mechanical teacher. They did not have printed books they had to read the chapter on the screen. There are more points but i don't remember the rest.
