Oh my god, agreed. I have known many lawyers, my father being one, and the amount of hubris and tech-derision is insane. You could give lawyers a computer that prints money and they would shrug and tell you to get it out of their office.
- brendawalsh 6y agoI don’t know how old your dad is, but I remember mine had an IBM XT and used WordPerfect, w DOS 3.3, I think. I remember WordPerfect being very popular in law offices, but also dictation machines, so who knows?

There was a period during which PCs (as well as other word processors) were coming in when computers were seen as being increasingly important (in law and elsewhere) but the management at many companies weren't sold on it being a good ROI for professionals, especially those billing by the hour, to use them directly. There was definitely a period of time in many places where there were computers but it was secretaries/paralegals/etc. who actually typed on them. And, remember, a lot of young professionals in the late 1980s had never really learned to type, even hunt and peck.
