If we look at trust as a dynamic between growth and technology then we will see why progressive people trust more, take more risks and have more fun while doing all that. Rachel Botsman' research also discovered that people trust more in the technology era than they did in the past. Is it because we are now more focused on self-improvement than ever and having access to technology allows us to not be afraid of dreaming big? Is it because technology makes us feel connected more than ever and allows us to see how similar we are? What drives your trust?
Who do we trust in the Legal Tech era?
The concept of trust takes many shapes and forms in Rachel Botsman's book called "Who do we trust?". I personally found her book very unique and justifying with certainty the very famous statement, known to most of us "do not judge a book by its cover". Rachel Botsman managed to ask hundreds of people about what trust meant to them and to her surprise, the received answers were very different. What we know for sure is that trust is an interchangeable and constantly evolving concept. It is probably one of the most transforming terms that is constantly evolving and shaping our world. Without trust there will be no relationships, no institutions, no growth and what drives the growth today, technology? Rachel Botsamn defines trust as the conduit through which new ideas travel. Trust is what drives change. I am pretty sure that you will all agree with her on that. The question is however, how do you know who to trust in the Legal Tech era? Is your trust driven by the motivation to change, transform and grow? Do we trust technology because we are so eager to learn new things and we feel that if we don't we will fall behind? Also, do people that are not interested in growth trust less?
