Chapter Overview

Class 12 English Chapter 6 The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov is a classic science-fiction story set in the year 2157. The story critically examines the limitations of technology in education through the lives of eleven-year-old Margie and thirteen-year-old Tommy.

When Tommy discovers a real printed paper book about old schools, Margie realizes how cold and monotonous her isolated, mechanical home schooling is compared to the past when children gathered together in a real building with a human teacher. The story cautions against over-reliance on artificial intelligence and automated teaching at the cost of social connection and warmth.

For HSSC Part 2 students preparing under Lahore Board, Rawalpindi Board, Gujranwala Board, Faisalabad Board, Multan Board, and other Punjab boards, Chapter 6 is essential for comparative short questions, theme-based essays on technology, solved textbook exercises, and MCQs aligned with the 2026-2027 PCTB / PECTAA syllabus.
