you know how it is. you send the order through anna brister can it in advance. in the name of the barrister. is bit. hello, pete. right now i'm struggling to see the point of him, putting the cup on the machine. i am in south korea for the 1st time since the pandemic and i'm looking for signs of this hyper advanced nation's continued push into the future. of which my banana mate is a small
7:50 am
sign. you see, in 2020, the government at the time introduced a new policy called untapped. it's the opposite of contact which aimed to promote economic growth by automating parts of society and removing human contact. and here's how you get airport information these days. robot: please give me the airline information. | i will show you where it is. please wear a face mask for the health of the people around you. it's no surprise this policy was given a boost by covid, when we were all encouraged not to touch anything 01’ be near anyone. mind you, i'm not sure it explains why my chicken was fried by a robot yesterday. how do you want yours done? as one of the most high—tech
7:51 am
countries on earth, south korea is in a prime place to make these changes. with nearly 100% of under—40s online, they love their technology here. and untact was not the first government policy to try and help this nation's rise. in fact, it was a government push towards industry and, later, high—tech industry that's got it to where it is today. in the last 60 years, this country has completely reinvented itself, going from one of the world's poorest nations to an industrial and technological powerhouse. a huge part of its success is down to the massive family—run businesses called chaebols that tower over seoul. you'll have heard of a few of them, i'm sure. there's lg, arguably the country's king of home goods and, of course, those bendy tvs.

hyundai makes everything from electric cars and robo—taxis to one of the world's biggest floating cranes, capable of lifting 10,000 tonnes. and sk group has a firm grip on telecoms, 5g, chips and semiconductors. but all of these names are dwarfed by the country's best—known brand, samsung. its h0 is a massive campus in the city of suwon and it's certainly on a par with those of tech companies that i've seen elsewhere in terms of scale — although not every tech campus i've been to has a climbing wall. but these days, you do need to give your staff the freedom to work the way they want, and that includes new ways to achieve new heights. c—lab stands for "creative lab". all the samsung employees can submit their own idea. once they are selected, they are excused from their assigned work and focus only
7:53 am
on developing their ideas. many big tech firms have seen the benefit of setting up in—house accelerators and since c—lab started in 2012, it's supported over 500 start—ups. every year, 30—110 projects are chosen, and lee dayoung's was one of them — although she did have the help of a friend. hey, say hi. "hlh piloto is a child's smartphone companion and maybe a guardian. a friendly face with a cheeky sense of humour who meets kids on their own level. normally, kids like to talk about toileting. yeah, i know — i've got two, they love it. that's the reason why we put that scenario. today, parents are using parental control apps, which means controlling the screen time or sensing what your kid's watching on the screen.
