TechnoLawyer member Brad Jensen reminds us that technology trends are usually more complex than they may appear. Take document imaging, for example. Brad writes: "The reason people use document imaging is not only cost, although the cost, over time, is far less than shuffling paper around. It's also a matter of access. It is not only that you can instantly access documents through a Web interface, it's also that you can index and find them again. How much time do you spend looking for lost items? Things you meant to save, things you didn't realize the importance of until later, things someone else asks you for that seemed unimportant when you knew where they were? Knowledge is power. Digitally accessible knowledge is hyperpower."
