Margie wrote in her diary on May 17, 2157, "Today Tommy found a real book." She described the book as being printed on yellow, crinkly paper with words that stayed still, unlike the moving text on their computer screens. The book was about old schools from the past, which fascinated Margie because she was used to reading telebooks on screens. She found it funny and strange that the book's text did not change or move and that after reading it, the book seemed useless compared to their digital books. The discovery made Margie excited and curious about how schooling was in the old days
