How does Margie and Tommy's conversation show generational thinking changed by technology?

Correct answer: They see old schools as objects of surprise

The governing concept is that a society's technology shapes what people regard as normal. Margie and Tommy have grown up with home-based mechanical instruction, telebooks, and no daily classroom. Consequently, the idea of a building where many children study together under a human teacher sounds unusual and almost unbelievable to them. Their reaction reverses the expectations of present-day readers: the old school is unfamiliar, while solitary technological learning is ordinary. Option B is correct because their conversation treats the past as a surprising object of discovery. Option A is false because they do not experience old schools daily, and options C and D misrepresent their attitudes and their understanding of the printed book.
