How did technology weaken the role of the human teacher?

A machine began giving lessons in place of a human teacher

The governing concept is the replacement of personal teaching by automated instruction. In The Fun They Had, Margie receives lessons from a mechanical teacher installed in her home, so the machine performs the regular teaching task that a human teacher would once have performed. It gives questions, checks answers, and follows a programmed course, but it cannot provide the warmth, companionship, or flexible human understanding associated with a real classroom teacher. Therefore option A is correct. Options B, C, and D do not describe the change shown in the story: bringing classmates, printing telebooks, and opening old schools are unrelated actions. The example presents technology as efficient, but also as a cause of reduced human contact in education.

This is a Class 9 English question. Chapter: The Fun They Had. Topic: the importance of human teachers.
