Heavenly Father, today we pray about the Seoul Digital Foundation’s efforts to instruct South Korean seniors in technology usage. Lord, with South Korea on the cutting edge of digital connectedness, we know elders are at risk of falling behind and losing significant contact, especially as the global pandemic has made technology even more essential to daily functioning. We are thankful the Seoul Digital Foundation’s programs are so far proving effective and even pleasant for those who take the lessons from friendly robots like Liku, as well as custom touchscreen educational kiosks. We pray that the programs will be available to those who most need them and that they will be tweaked and improved as appropriate. Lord, we always have concerns with technology as well, and you in your infinite wisdom know more than we can even imagine about these potential issues. Please bring legitimate concerns to light, that they may be addressed. And, Lord, we pray that no one will believe the lie that robots are enough. May human beings look out for the senior adults in their lives, making sure they are receiving the human interaction they need to thrive and have their needs met. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
