I’m old enough to remember when floppy disks were really floppy!

In the world of legal tech, we’ve come a long way from floppy disks—those iconic, bendable storage devices that held a whopping 1.44 MB. If you’re old enough to remember their flexibility, you’ll appreciate how far we’ve progressed. Today’s 12-year-olds might think they’re 3D-printed “Save” icons, but for us, they were the cutting edge of data storage.

For lawyers who’ve navigated the evolution from floppy disks to cloud-based systems, this is a reminder of how adaptable our profession has been. While we embrace modern tools like e-discovery platforms and AI-driven legal research, let’s not forget those humble beginnings when saving a document meant inserting a disk and praying it didn’t corrupt.

So, as you tackle your Monday workload, take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of “floppy tech” and how it paved the way for the robust legal technology we rely on today.
