As a lawyer who specializes in the arcane world of financial markets and derivatives, I find myself remarkably tech-averse. Our practice is loaded with financial options, swaps and futures. These are essentially contracts that change their value as the performance of an underlying instrument (say a stock) changes.

You might suspect that I would have the latest of every gadget. But the reality is much different. Indeed, my cell phone is embarrassingly simple and ugly. (Don’t ask me the make and model — I got it free from Verizon two years ago.)
