I pointed out that we were in the Information Age and that practically everyone who communicated did so using digital tools. He went on to tell me how he knew all about this 'tech stuff,' but it just wasn't important enough for him to invest in it. He boasted to me that remaining antiquated protected his practice from modern invasive electronic discovery techniques. But, based upon the hundreds of emails I received requesting a follow-up to last week's article, 'Are You Employable In 2012,' I'm going to give it a shot.Īn attorney, who has a remarkably successful practice in South Florida, told me that he doesn't see any reason to follow the industry trend of hiring electronic discovery experts. Would it be cliché for me to tell you how many of these individuals had flip phones? Would it be stereotypical to describe the number of doctors, lawyers and retired investors who have their secretaries print out their emails? Would it be hackneyed to recount the pridefully ignorant way that each individual espoused the reasons they lead an unconnected life? Perhaps.

I was drawn into conversation after conversation where I had to defend the existential necessity of digital literacy. During my trip, I met several people (of a certain age) who feigned interest in my profession.

I had to take a one-day trip to Boca Raton, FL this week to attend a family event.
