I had 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 transfering your money. You can do your shopping online. Everything will be _____!”I was excited to try to persuade(说服)my father. He asked, "If I do that, I won't ______ to step out of the house?" "Yes! " I said. I told him how Amazon(亚马逊)delivers(递送)everything and how even small things can be delivered to our doors.

However, his answer made me _____ . He said, "Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my old friends and I have chatted a while with the staff(员工). I have much free time, so I like to come to the bank and ______ different people. Two years ago, when I was seriously injured, the store owner from whom I buy fruit came to see me and prayed by my bed. ____ , when your mom fell down a few days ago, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital.”

He continued, "Why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the person around me. Does Amazon deliver bonds(情感纽带)and _____ as well?"

I was silent after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course. We shouldn't ________ technology so much. It's better to spend time with real people.
