9. 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.
