Those lawyers who are unable to match up to today’s technology or to even make an effort to learn something are sure to have big problems:
- Those with non-technical brains will not be able to provide good client service. They will have to continuously depend on their juniors or technical people to sort out their problems. This is because of their failure to capitalize on the technological efficiency available to them.
- These lawyers who fail to understand basic technical mumbo-jumbo will have serious competitive disadvantage. It’s a competitive job market anyway, and discrepancies will always be looked into with a magnifying glass.
- These lawyers will be responsible for wasting the time of their juniors or the IT personnel’s time. Not many firms will like this eating into productivity.
- These lawyers will be mostly responsible for distracting others from knowing the uses of technology because they themselves are ignorant of it. They would be delaying or discouraging the latest innovations of the market because of their stubbornness.
- Use LCD monitors instead of energy-sucking CRT monitors. You can always tell your firm to provide them, as prices for LCD monitors have dropped significantly. Also, they provide better visuals and take up less desk space. Laptops consume even less energy than desktops.
- Set your display properties on the screensaver tab by clicking ''none'' on the screensaver. Set the standby mode on your computer if you are away for a stipulated time from the computer.
- Don’t keep your mobile near the computer, as harmful radiations clash.
- Use the latest processor available because it ultimately saves energy. You should preferably use Mac because it uses less energy than the average PC. Also, be offline if it is not necessary to be online 24/7.
