ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Isaac Asimov was born on 02 January 1920 in Petrovichi

(Russia). He immigrated with his family to the United States

and became a bio-chemistry professor while pursuing

writing. He published his first novel, Febble in the sky, in

1950. An immensely prolific author who penned nearly 500

books, he published many science related works like A

Robot and the foundation trilogy, as well as books of other

genres. He died in New York on 06 April 1992 .

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

• What kind of school would you want to have in the future ?

• How much will the computer be involved in the future education ?

• Will you feel more happy in a more developed, high-tech society ? Why or Why not ?

INTRODUCTION….• Another disadvantage is that there are no social

relationships like at school today. If a child lives in a neighborhood with no other children, then he is alone and has no social relationships with other children. Learning with friends at school can be a motivation. At school today the pupils improve their communication and their behavior in a group. In Assimov`s future vision there are no human teachers who can give moral values to the children. Giving moral values is the duty of the parents as the mechanical teacher cannot give moral values.
