How did the form of knowledge change because of technology in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: From paper to screen and machine lessons
The governing concept is the change in the medium through which knowledge is stored and delivered. In the past, children used printed paper books and attended schools where human teachers explained lessons. In the future imagined by the story, Tommy and Margie use telebooks and receive instruction from mechanical teachers at home. Thus, technology changes knowledge from a paper-and-school form into digital or screen-based material supported by programmed lessons, so option A is correct. The other choices are absurd or unrelated: education does not move from school to a forest, class to food, or teacher to a river. The contrast concerns medium and method, not the disappearance of knowledge.
