Chapter 1, The Fun They Had

-by Isaac Asimov

Diary Entry by Margie

The present story is set in the future when children don’t have traditional books and schools. Margie, a little girl in the story, makes a diary entry-Tommy found a real book’. The entry reveals the date, 21st May 2157, showing that the story is set much into the future. The book was a very old one, just like the one that her grandfather had in his time as a student. Its pages were yellow and she found it funny to read the words that were not moving like that on a computer screen.

वर्तमान कहानी भविष्य में सेट है जब बच्चों के पास पारंपरिक किताबें और स्कूल नहीं हैं। मार्गी, कहानी की एक छोटी लड़की, डायरी में प्रवेश करती है- टॉमी को एक असली किताब मिली’। प्रविष्टि 21 मई 2157 की तारीख को प्रकट करती है, यह दर्शाती है कि कहानी बहुत भविष्य में सेट है। किताब बहुत पुरानी थी, बिलकुल वैसी ही जैसी उसके दादाजी के पास एक छात्र के रूप में थी। उसके पन्ने पीले थे और उसे उन शब्दों को पढ़ने में मज़ा आ रहा था जो कंप्यूटर स्क्रीन पर इस तरह नहीं चल रहे थे।

Feelings about the Book

When Tommy had the book in his hand, he called it a waste because after one time reading, it could be thrown away. The same feeling was with Margie too. Tommy found that book in the attic of his house and that book was about a school. Margie hated her school and her mechanical teacher a lot. Her teacher was not a living being. He was an image that flashes on her screen in her study room. He gave her test after test in geography, and she was not doing well. Her failure in geography had invited an inspector who tried to trace out the problem. So, her mother had asked the County Inspector to come and find what was wrong.

जब टॉमी के हाथ में किताब थी, तो उसने उसे बेकार बताया क्योंकि एक बार पढ़ने के बाद उसे फेंका जा सकता था। यही फीलिंग मार्गी के साथ भी थी। टॉमी को वह किताब अपने घर की अटारी में मिली थी और वह किताब एक स्कूल के बारे में थी। मार्गी अपने स्कूल और यांत्रिक शिक्षक से बहुत नफरत करती थी। उसकी शिक्षिका कोई जीवित प्राणी नहीं थी। वह एक ऐसी छवि थी जो उसके अध्ययन कक्ष में उसकी स्क्रीन पर चमकती है। उसने भूगोल में एक के बाद एक परीक्षा दी, और वह अच्छा नहीं कर रही थी। भूगोल में उसकी असफलता ने एक निरीक्षक को आमंत्रित किया जिसने समस्या का पता लगाने का प्रयास किया। इसलिए, उसकी मां ने काउंटी इंस्पेक्टर से कहा था कि वह आकर पता लगाए कि क्या गलत है।

The Arrival of the County Inspector

The County Inspector was a round little man with a red face. Margie had thought that he would take her mechanical teacher away completely, but it was not so. The Inspector set the teacher right within an hour or so. He told her mother that nothing was wrong with the girl rather the screen was too fast for the girl and therefore Margie was having troubles. Now, it had been slowed down so that, she would be okay with its level.

काउंटी इंस्पेक्टर लाल चेहरे वाला एक गोल छोटा आदमी था। मार्गी ने सोचा था कि वह उसके यांत्रिक शिक्षक को पूरी तरह से दूर कर देगा, लेकिन ऐसा नहीं था। एक-एक घंटे के भीतर इंस्पेक्टर ने शिक्षक को ठीक कर दिया। उसने अपनी मां से कहा कि लड़की को कुछ भी गलत नहीं है बल्कि स्क्रीन लड़की के लिए बहुत तेज थी और इसलिए मार्गी को परेशानी हो रही थी। अब, इसे धीमा कर दिया गया था ताकि, वह अपने स्तर से ठीक हो सके।

The Old Kind of School

On reading that book, Tommy had a discussion about the school with Margie. The old kind of schools were a building common to all and with human teachers who would teach all the boys and girls the same thing if they were of the same age.

He gave them tests as well as homework. Margie wanted to know more about those kinds of funny schools, but it was time for her to go to her school. It was time for Tommy too for his school and both of them decided to read the book later.

उस किताब को पढ़कर टॉमी ने मार्गी से स्कूल के बारे में चर्चा की। पुराने प्रकार के स्कूल सभी के लिए एक सामान्य इमारत थे और मानव शिक्षकों के साथ जो सभी लड़कों और लड़कियों को एक ही उम्र के होने पर एक ही चीज़ पढ़ाते थे।

उन्होंने उन्हें टेस्ट के साथ-साथ होमवर्क भी दिया। मार्गी उस प्रकार के मज़ेदार स्कूलों के बारे में और जानना चाहती थी, लेकिन उसके लिए अपने स्कूल जाने का समय आ गया था। टॉमी का भी स्कूल जाने का समय हो गया था और उन दोनों ने बाद में किताब पढ़ने का फैसला किया।

Margie’s Schoolroom

Margie’s schoolroom was next to her bedroom, where the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for Margie. Her school was open every day except Saturday and Sunday. Margie’s mother believed that girls learn better if they do it regularly. The mechanical teacher (the screen lit up and started) was going to teach lesson on arithmetic. It was about the addition of proper factions. Margie had no interest in it. Margie had to put yesterday’s homework in the proper slot too. The mechanical teacher never forgot to ask for the homework.

मार्गी का स्कूल का कमरा उसके शयनकक्ष के बगल में था, जहाँ यांत्रिक शिक्षक थे और मार्गी की प्रतीक्षा कर रहे थे। उसका स्कूल शनिवार और रविवार को छोड़कर हर दिन खुला रहता था। मार्गी की मां का मानना था कि अगर लड़कियां नियमित रूप से ऐसा करती हैं तो वे बेहतर सीखती हैं। यांत्रिक शिक्षक (स्क्रीन जल उठी और चालू हो गई) अंकगणित का पाठ पढ़ाने जा रहे थे। यह उचित गुटों को जोड़ने के बारे में था। मार्गी को इसमें कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं थी। मार्गी को कल का गृहकार्य भी उचित स्थान पर रखना था। यांत्रिक शिक्षक गृहकार्य के लिए पूछना कभी नहीं भूले।

Margie being Nostalgic

Margie was sitting in front of her mechanical teacher, but she was thinking of the good old days when the kids had a common time and place to study. She was also thinking of the human teacher that used to teach them. She was thinking of the fun they had at the school.

मार्गी अपने यांत्रिक शिक्षक के सामने बैठी थी, लेकिन वह पुराने अच्छे दिनों के बारे में सोच रही थी जब बच्चों के पास पढ़ने के लिए एक ही समय और जगह होती थी। वह उस मानव शिक्षक के बारे में भी सोच रही थी जो उन्हें पढ़ाता था। वह स्कूल में उनके द्वारा की जाने वाली मस्ती के बारे में सोच रही थी।

Conclusion of The Fun They Had

In the chapter – The Fun They Had illustrates how emerging technology is slowly taking precedence over various things around us. In the near future, it wouldn’t be surprising to see if human teachers are replaced by mechanical devices or robots.

अध्याय – द फन दे हैड में दिखाया गया है कि कैसे उभरती हुई तकनीक धीरे-धीरे हमारे आसपास की विभिन्न चीजों पर हावी हो रही है। निकट भविष्य में, यह देखना आश्चर्यजनक नहीं होगा कि मानव शिक्षकों को यांत्रिक उपकरणों या रोबोटों द्वारा प्रतिस्थापित किया जाता है या नहीं।
