The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Delightful short story first appeared in a children's magazine; Asimov wrote it as a favor for a friend. It is supposedly the most frequently anthologized of his stories, telling the strange tale of children that all went together to a special place to learn from a human teacher. Strange, no?
