Who Is The Oldest Of Them All? How Long Have You Been On The Internet?

I gave my first seminar on the Internet for lawyers in 1994. It is hard to believe that I have been shilling for Lawyers on the Internet for 26 years. That date coincides with my first website for the FutureLawyer, which has been going strong every day since. Teaching lawyers about the Internet and how it could amplify and energize their law practices has been a life long obsession. So, I look with pride at the complete integration of the Internet into the practice of law, just as it has infiltrated other professions. Technology can be harnessed for good purposes, and can enable a life well lived. In 1994, when my Committee on Technology conducted the first statewide demo of the World Wide Web for lawyers at the Florida Bar Convention, we setup computers and monitors and dial up access, and sat Bar members down to show them the future of legal research and computing. I actually saved the graphics banner from the Convention, and it is mounted on the wall of my home office.

Well, you beat me by four years. While "new" at the time websites and associated tech were, as they have become a force multiplier for lawyers.
