Technology wont give happiness..

I spent an hour in the bank with my dad, 

as he had to transfer some money. I couldn't resist 

myself 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 an hour here for 

things like making 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 

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 groceries can 

be delivered at 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 cried.

When your Mom fell down a 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 of Relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?'''

Technology isn't life..

Spend time with people .. Not with devices.
