Technology in the legal field is consistently shifting and changing, just as many areas of the underlying substantive law are constantly fluctuating. New technologies — just the same as new laws and interpretations of existing law — can be extremely intimidating to those who become irreparably paralyzed by the short terms of consistency that may be created.
Short periods of time without noticeable change in the law and technology can easily entice practitioners into a dangerous state of comfort and complacency. Change, however, is always and inevitably right around the corner. Specifically with regard to technological advancements, more seasoned practitioners, i.e., those who may not precisely qualify as "young lawyers," often tend to avoid the changes in technology all together, when possible, or otherwise rely upon their less seasoned counterparts to take the lead on a particular project that requires employment of certain advancements.
