Two children - Margie and Tommy - born in world of the future - studying in virtual classroom in 2157 - wherein robot-teachers teach - computers dominate everything – tele-books used - text and pictures in motion on screen.
Margie wrote in her diary about how Tommy found a book – that belonged Tommy’s to their grandfather when he was a little kid – the book was in print - in paper-back format.
Books were read with the feeling of turning pages - Margie and Tommy found it rather funny – they had tele-books in which text and pictures moved - books are being stored in computers and digital devices
Margie learns that schools then were very different - actual persons or human teachers then taught kids - Now she has only robots which teach her.
Margie and Tommy study in a virtual classroom. - robots as teachers - her Margie’ virtual school is next to her bedroom only - full of electronics devices, robots, and gadgets - computer software teaches her everything – no classmates and no playground
