Technology isn't life:

I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. 
*I couldn't resist myself & asked...*

''Dad, why don't we activate your internet banking?''

*''Why would I do that?'' *

He asked...

''Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer. 

You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!'' 

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.

He asked *''If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?* 

''Yes, yes''! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied. 

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 by now.*

*You know I m alone...*

*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 touch that I crave.*

*Two years back I got sick, The store owner  from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried.* 

*When u r Mom fell down few days back while on her morning walk. Our local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live.* 

*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 the 'seller' . It creates bonds. Relationships.* 

*Technology isn' t life ..* 

*Spend time with people .. *

*Not with devices.*👍
