Does Amazon deliver all this as well? | Must Read

I had spent an hour in the bank with Uncle, as he had to transfer some money. In a small SBI branch in a sleepy area of a small town. I couldn’t resist the urge.

“Uncle, 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 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? I wont have to come to the bank?’’

“Yes, yes”! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied. Our parents, have somewhere found the perfect balance. They enjoy seeing the photos we send them on Whats App but they have not broken their human ties. They have adopted technology on our insistence but not forgotten where it all began.

He said ‘’Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me very well by now. My kids are out of town and visit me now and then but 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, very sick. The butcher from whom I buy meat, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried. The man who comes every month to collect my bills and goes and physically pays them for a nominal charge from me, has only that mean of earning and the only thing that keeps him busy in his retired life. My wife fell down few days back while on her morning walk. My 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. Relationships. Does Amazon deliver all this as well?‘’’

Oh boy , that’s just fantastic . . .

Everywhere I go , it’s whatsapp or facebook and selfies. It’s too much. No one cares to at least look at fellow beings’ faces (unless it’s on Whatsapp) . I understand that just because I see it in a way doesn’t mean it is right but everything’s got to have a limit. The world around us is real, it’s not virtual . We have to live it to know it.

Thanks @ai9 for sharing this .

Very nice. Thanks for sharing …

Adding to that …

Now a days we do everything online. Create bank accounts online, wallet online, etc. And we put money in it. How many of our family knows about it? If we are not in this world tomorrow. What will happen to our investments we made online? Everthing will go unclaimed and banks will enjoy the benefit. NOT our family. There are crores of unclaimed money with every bank you know.

We take insurance policies online. term insurance, medical insurance, etc. There should be somebody in our family to know about that so that they can claim when we are not there.

So, We should inform our family about our savings, loans, insurance, mutual funds, stocks, etc.

Bro… make a diary where you write all your policies details, bank details and FDs and other investement.
I have done the same
you wont believe I have written all my wallets user names and password with every friday updating the balance.

How many of you wish you could quit?

Bloody online!

But everyone is here. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif

Recently, in a cafe, I saw a couple of chicks taking selfies…

Reminded me of this video:

We are following Americans!

And it’s freakin’ dangerous.

Everyone now knows a English song or two, eats pizzas proudly, goes in Uber, and speaks with an accent. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_lol.gif

British dominated India, but US is ruling us silently. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

We WILL lose the physical touch – and see progress in technology.

It’s just a matter of time.

This is life: we learn, innovate, and destroy ourselves.

Edit: Life has also become a lot more convenient. Nowadays, my mom wants me to order vegetable online as she hates to go out.

This is harmful for every middle class as, to save money, we spend our precious time and energy here.

Reminds me of another post I wrote a couple of months ago, worth a read: http://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online...

I agree that adding nominee is important. My point is our family should know that we have an account in some bank and they have to claim it. Unless someone claims our hardly earned money, the bank will never pay.

hmmm. payTm … if we haven’t used our money in our wallet for more than 6 months, they will take away our money as per their T&C.

Living and working in this digital era, our social media accounts – from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr are increasing not only in number but also in volume. Additionally, many of us have domain names registered and libraries of movies, digital music and e-Books that can be of significant value. And let’s not forget about wallets and other virtual currencies!

For the majority of us, these accounts and digital assets are likely to outlive us. And when we die, it is left up to family members to sift through them all. Furthermore, even though they may have all the required passwords necessary for these accounts, many heirs will discover that they have no clear authority to access, or even to manage, the online accounts of their deceased loved ones.

It is essential that our online and social media accounts are included as part of the estate planning process. Failure to do so may not only deprive those we leave behind of fond memories and (possibly) a little nest egg, it could also leave us vulnerable to postmortem identity theft if fraudsters get to use our personal details to apply for credit facilities whilst our accounts remain unguarded.

So do not only protect your digital assets, but also to clearly indicate how can one access your online accounts and how they should benefit from them.
