What short story from the 1960s is about future where there are no printed books



A friend recently reminded me of a story where two children hear/learn /read in a book about a time long ago when all books were in print, and it's very strange to them as they are totally electronic in their future time.


the story was most probably written by an English-writing author, dated before 1990 and probably in the 1960s or so.


Any ideas?



Answer



It's a short story by Isaac Asimov called "The Fun They Had."
