Pokemon Go is big, or so I hear. I really wouldn’t know. I had to ask my wife what it was because I’ve paid almost no attention to it. Based on what I’ve heard about it, it’s definitely not my thing.
How about you?
Do you use, or at least try, the latest apps? Do you follow the latest trends?
Sometimes? Never? What’s a smartphone?
I read somewhere that there are four types of people:
- Innovators. They’re the first to do, adopt, or promote something.
- Early adopters. They see the trend and jump on board earlier than most.
- Late adopters. They wait until many or most are doing it, saying it, or using it.
- Dinosaurs. They rarely adopt anything new.
Or something like that.
Me? It depends on the thing. I was on board early with Evernote but I don’t own an iPad. I was one of the first to create a marketing course for attorneys and I started a blog before it was fashionable, but I do almost nothing on social media.
How about you?
I would guess that most lawyers are late adopters but I think we all need to be flexible. Some things are worth exploring early on, even if we don’t adopt them. Some things are worth our time and energy because they make us more productive or they’re just plain fun.
And then there’s Pokemon. I’m pretty sure I’ll take my first selfie before I download that one.
