I had spent some time in the bank
with my dad, as he had to transfer
some money. I couldn't resist, and
asked... "Dad, why don't we activate
your internet banking?"
"Why would I do that?" he asked.
"Well, then you wont have to spend
the time here for things like a transfer.
You can even do your shopping
online. Everything will be so easy!"
I was so excited about initiating him
into the world of internet banking and
shopping.
He asked "If I do that, I wont have to
step out of the house?"
"Yes, yes," I said. I told him how
even groceries can be delivered to his
door now and how Amazon delivers
everything! His answer left me
tongue-tied.

Technology? No thanks.
He said, ''Since I entered this bank
today, I have met four of my friends, I
have chatted a while with the staff who
know me very well now. You know I
am retired... this is the company that
I need. I like to get ready and come
to the bank. I have enough time, it is
the physical contact that I crave. Two
years back when I got sick, the store
owner from where I buy fruit came to
see me and sat by my bedside. When
your mom fell down a while back
while on her morning walk, our local
grocer saw her and immediately got
his car to rush her home as he knows
where we live. And your brother
worked at that store to make his way
through college. Would I have that
'human' touch if everything became
online? Why would I want everything
delivered to me and force
me to interact with just my
computer? I like to know
the person that I'm dealing
with and not just any
'seller.' It creates bonds of
relationships. Does Amazon
deliver all this as well?"
Needless to say, his words
helped me realize that
technology isn't life. It's
better to spend time with
people than devices.
