Constant Connectivity For Lawyers - Is That A Bad Thing?

The Downside of Constant Connectivity for Lawyers. This author seems to think that constant connectivity interferes with family time, and family relationships. Get real. Everyone is connected all the time these days; and, so is the FutureLawyer family. We spend MORE time together, and it isn't all while tethered to our computers and smart phones. Family interaction isn't a function of connectivity; it is a function of people. We all know where the off switch is, and we spend quality time doing many things together. In fact, the computer connectivity enables us to be in touch with each other all the time; and we keep current on what everyone is doing, make plans to meet for various functions, and just generally enjoy each other's company wherever we are. As for the lawyers in this article, if they don't want to spend billable hours while with their family, no one is forcing them. If a client insists on invading that space, whose responsibility is it to say no? If you refuse to work during family time, you may lose a few clients; but, you will gain a family. And, if you can't turn off the machine, that is on you.
