Considering how long ago that is, they must be pretty old. I mean, I'm 58 and I can just barely remember that time.
- terminalcommand 4y agoThey are not young :). I live outside of US so technology might have come a bit later to us. And law is an industry that does not like change that much.
- gnicholas 4y agoI talked to a lawyer in his 70s about this. He liked the way that dictating forced him to consider his thoughts in advance and speak in paragraphs. Technology has made dictation/typing pools unnecessary, but it's worth considering the ways that it might have led to benefits that we currently miss out on.

- lancesells 4y agoI've kind of found this with certain reporting that I used to automate. I used to be of mind that everything that can be automated should be automated. I've come to realize it's a big mistake as it limits my processing of information. Even cutting and pasting can have me thinking about something more than automating.
