Bruce was a professor at Cornell Law School, and he was also a partner at a law firm.
As a member of the social elite, Bruce had gotten used to using computers early on.
Not only at home, but there were also computers on his desks at school and at the law firm.
Because Bruce's specialty was law, and facing the vast ocean of legal regulations, no one could remember them all.
Even if one specialized in one area, it was hard to master without decades of accumulation.
In the past, when he needed to look up information, he could only rely on physical books on his desk.
But after all, a small office desk has limited space; it couldn't hold too much material.
Then came computers, and everything became much simpler.
Now, there were only one or two frequently used law reference books on Bruce's desk; the rest of the materials were on the computer.
He marveled at the progress of technology; this was a way of working he had never imagined before.
