II. Long Answer Type Questions

Answer the following questions in about 60 words :

1. Describe the old type of books and compare them with the books Margie and Tommy had on

their television screen.

Ans. Old type of books were books that were printed on

paper. Words printed on them remained the same and

they stood still. Turn the page over, and you will find the

same words printed there as you read before. After

reading them, the books became useless, as Tommy

says. But the books Margie and Tommy had on their television

screen could be moved. There could be millions of books

or even more on the television screen. Everything kids

wanted to learn could flash on the screen.

2. Who were 'old teachers' ? Where and how did they teach students ?

Ans. Old teachers were men. They were not computers.

They had special buildings for study in those days. They

were called schools. Children reached there and sat

together in the schoolroom. The teacher taught them new things and gave them homework, and asked them questions. The children learnt the same things. They helped each other with the homework and talked about it. In short, old teachers were men and not computers.

3. How was Margie taught ? Give some examples too.

Ans. Margie's school was in her house right next to her

bedroom. She had the mechanical teacher that taught her. It was a computer. The mechanical teacher gave her

tests. There was a slot where she had to put her

homework and test papers. 

Saturday and Sunday were off. Different sectors were

geared according to age group of children. Once

geography sector was geared a little to quick and the

Inspector had to slow it down to an average ten-year

level.


4. What did Margie think about the old schools they had when her grandfather's grandfather was

a little boy ?

Ans. The concept of books on paper and old school was

quite new for Margie. They had those schools when her

grandfather's grandfather was a little boy. All the kids

from whole neighbourhood and came to school. There

they laughed and shouted in the schoolyard, studied the

same things taught by men teachers. 

At the end of the day they went back home together.

Children talked about what they had learnt and helped one another with the homework.
