How does the habit of telebooks affect children's historical understanding?

Correct answer: They treat printed books and old schools as unusual

The governing concept is that habitual technology shapes historical perception. Margie and Tommy are accustomed to telebooks and individual machine instruction, so the printed book found by Tommy and the idea of children studying together in an old school seem unfamiliar. Their surprise shows that a society’s normal tools can make earlier practices appear strange or outdated. Therefore option B is correct. Option A reverses their reaction, because they do not recognize the old school as familiar. Option C contradicts the story’s home-based machine education, and option D ignores the clear contrast between past and present. The answer demonstrates how technological habits influence what children understand about educational history.
