At a Dalkomm Coffee shop in Seoul, a robot takes orders from you through a mobile app or a touch

screen and then makes fresh coffee. Coffee is just one of the many industries that use automated

（自动化

的）

services in this technologically forward-thinking nation. Others include restaurants, food stores, banks

and manufacturers. The development comes as many Koreans, especially the young, are struggling to find

work.

Just this week, workers who operate about 2,500 large cranes

（吊车）

at building sites went on strike.

They were against the growing use of robotic small cranes for building. Other labor unions also have opposed

the use of automated devices instead of human workers at Emart, South Korea's biggest food store group.

system. They acted after receiving blame for cutting 6,700 jobs. Instead, the system will be partly automated

and keep all its existing human fee collectors.

workers. The international average is 85 robots per 10,000 employees.

South Korea's lowest permitted worker wage has increased by 27.3% over the last two years. This has

led more businesses to cut labor costs by using automation, says Suh Yong Gu of the Business School at

Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul.

Even with the job losses, South Korea's businesses are replacing employees with automation and young

people are welcoming the change. Suh said,

those who were born after 1980 ---

are prime consumers. This generation tends not to like meeting other people, so they favor technology that

enables people to minimize face- to-face interactions.
