1 . I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn’t _________ myself and asked, “Dad, why don’t we activate your _________ banking?”
“Why would I do that?” he asked. “Well, then you won’t have to _________ an hour here for things like transfer. You can even do your _________ on line. Everything will be so easy!” I was so _________ about initiating him into the world of the Internet.
He asked, “If I do that, I won’t have to step out of the _________?” “Well”… yeah… um, I mean… yes, that’s right!’’ I said. His answer let me _________.
He said, “Since I _________ the bank today, I have _________ four of my friends, and __________ a while with the staff who know me very well. You know I am __________. This is the company that I need. I like to come to the bank. I have __________ time. It is part of the physical touch that I __________.”
“Two years back I got sick; the store owner from whom I buy fruits came to see me and sat by my bedside and __________. When your mom fell down on the morning walk, my local grocer saw her and __________ got his car to __________ her home as he knows where I live.”
“Would I have that human touch if everything I did was on line? Why would I want everything delivered to me and to __________ with just my computer? I’d like to know the person that I am __________. It __________ bonds and relationships. Does the Amazon __________ all this as well?”
