Daily Inspiration: "The most important thing you need to know is the thing you don't yet know about!" - #Futurist Jim Carroll

I was out skiing yesterday, and as often happens, you can get into delightful conversations while on the chairlift. I ended up sharing a few rides up with a lawyer, and we ended up speaking about changes in her profession, and the new areas of a specialty practice that are emerging.
We quickly began to focus our conversation on the issue of the growth of legal knowledge.

My comments to her were based on issues just covered in one of my 23 Trends for 2023, having to do with Knowledge Velocity, pointing out that the biggest challenge now facing the industry is the rapid growth of new knowledge - "how is any lawyer supposed to be able to keep up?"
And that became the basis for today's quote!

As I pointed out in that post, back in 1982, it was estimated that the total volume of human knowledge was doubling every 12 months - but IBM has recently suggested that the impact of the Internet is such that it is now doubling every 12 hours. That's a pretty staggering change - and this is before the massive knowledge generation that is now coming with text-based A.I. tools.
