How does technology’s impact change childhood experience in the story?

Correct answer: It moves childhood away from shared classmate experience

The governing concept is the effect of an educational system on a child’s social development. Margie is certainly receiving lessons, so technology has not removed study from her childhood. However, she studies alone in her house, follows the machine’s fixed routine, and has no everyday classmates with whom she can share curiosity, competition, cooperation, or fun. Her discovery of the old book makes her realise that childhood once included a collective school life. Thus option A is correct. Option B is the opposite of what happens, while C and D are exaggerated: Margie’s childhood is not only play and is not without education. The important change is the loss of shared experience.
