The Human Touch

I spent an hour in the bank with my dad to transfer (转账) some money. I asked him, “Dad, why not use online banking?”

“________ would I do that?” He replied.

“Well, then you won’t have to spend an hour here. You can do your shopping online, too. Everything will be easier!” I was excited to try to ________ my father.

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

“Yes!” I said. I told him how even fruit and vegetables can be sent to us now and how online shops ________ everything to customers’ doors.

However, his answer left me speechless. He said, “Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my friends and I have talked for a while with people here. I have plenty of free time, so I like to come to the ________. Two years ago, when I was seriously sick, the shop owner, from whom I buy fruit, was ________ and came to see me. Also, when your mom fell down a few days ago while on her morning walk, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital. You see, people ________ and we matter to them.”

He continued, “Why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the ________. Do online shops deliver bonds (情感纽带) and relationships as well?”

I was silent after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course. We shouldn’t spend so much time in front of a computer. It’s better to spend time with ________ people.
