Technology isn't life......
Spend time with people .. Not with

devices.
This is not my story, but worth sharing!

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 won’t have to spend an hour here for things like transfers.

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

I was so excited about introducing him to the world of Internet banking.

He asked ''If I do that, I won’t have to step out of the house?

''Yes, yes''! I said. I told him how even groceries can be delivered to your 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 awhile with the staff who know me very well by now.

You know I am 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 chatted.

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 of relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?'''

    From the point of view of human nature, people are warmer than machines.
