Monday <strong>to</strong> Friday, 10 am <strong>to</strong> 4:30pm<br />

I had spent some time in <strong>the</strong> bank<br />

with my dad, as he had <strong>to</strong> transfer<br />

some money. I couldn't resist, and<br />

asked... "Dad, why don't we activate<br />

your internet banking?"<br />

"Why would I do that?" he asked.<br />

"Well, <strong>the</strong>n you wont have <strong>to</strong> spend<br />

<strong>the</strong> time here for things like a transfer.<br />

You can even do your shopping online.<br />

Everything will be so easy!" I was<br />

so excited about initiating him in<strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> world of internet banking and<br />

shopping.<br />

He asked "If I do that, I won't have<br />

<strong>to</strong> step out of <strong>the</strong> house?"<br />

"Yes, yes," I said. I <strong>to</strong>ld him how<br />

even groceries can be delivered <strong>to</strong> his<br />

door now and how Amazon delivers<br />

everything! His answer left me <strong>to</strong>nguetied.<br />

Thrilled with our new windows!<br />

The workmanship was excellent,<br />

installaon was mely, efficient and <strong>the</strong><br />

windows look great! We would highly<br />

recommend Beehive! ~ Dara<br />

Technology? No thanks.<br />

He said, ''Since I entered this bank<br />

<strong>to</strong>day, I have met four of my friends, I<br />

have chatted a while with <strong>the</strong> staff who<br />

know me very well now. You know I<br />

am retired... this is <strong>the</strong> company that<br />

I need. I like <strong>to</strong> get ready and come<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> bank. I have enough time, it is<br />

<strong>the</strong> physical contact that I crave. Two<br />

years back when I got sick, <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>re<br />

owner from where I buy fruit came <strong>to</strong><br />

see me and sat by my bedside. When<br />

your mom fell down a while back while<br />

on her morning walk, our local grocer<br />

saw her and immediately got his car <strong>to</strong><br />

rush her home as he knows where we<br />

live. And your bro<strong>the</strong>r worked at that<br />

s<strong>to</strong>re <strong>to</strong> make his way through college.<br />

Would I have that 'human' <strong>to</strong>uch if<br />

everything became online? Why would<br />

I want everything delivered <strong>to</strong> me and<br />

force me <strong>to</strong> interact with<br />

just my computer? I like<br />

<strong>to</strong> know <strong>the</strong> person that<br />

I'm dealing with and not<br />

just any 'seller.' It creates<br />

bonds of relationships.<br />

Does Amazon deliver all<br />

this as well?"<br />

Needless <strong>to</strong> say, his words<br />

helped me realize that<br />

technology isn't life. It's<br />

better <strong>to</strong> spend time with<br />

people than devices.<br />
