		<description>I work in patent research, and we have seen the advent of Google patents and other free repositories of patent data (like esp@cenet) over the last few years.  It hasn&#039;t made commercial services go away, but it has spurred them to offer more value-added services to users, like better interfaces, machine translated databases, etc.  There are a also few value-added files of patent information with human indexing and other fancy things applied on top of first level data (one example is the Derwent file owned by Thomson Reuters, producers of West).  Those tools are still important to patent searchers, and I don&#039;t see them going away anytime soon - but the playing field has been leveled in other respects.  (My company provides reviews of these tools at http://www.intellogist.com.

At the end of the day competition is great but there is still a place for the value-added services (at least until better semantic search comes along?)</description>

		<description>I went to an orthopedic surgeon since I developed knee and shoulder pains and this doctor only knew about MRI&#039;s, xray&#039;s and surgery; hence, that&#039;s what they billed my insurance company for!

After I realized that, I did a &quot;google search&quot; and learned that my injury was a &quot;sports injury&quot; and something called &quot;dancer&#039;s knee&quot;, etc...

Thus, when I visited my physical therapist, I was empowered with information and she verified my observations; moreover, I didn&#039;t have to visit her again!

The most important thing: &quot;I knew full well how to make my pain go away!&quot;

As far as &quot;legal work goes,&quot; I&#039;m assuming that folks will start drafting their own legal settlements;  as an example, my cousin paid $5000 for his divorce.  if an online app can do this for $100, the choice is obvious.

Moreover, I don&#039;t think this vision is impossible since most cases are settled &quot;out of court&quot;; the missing piece, of course, is a software app that lets parties settle &quot;out of court&quot; for almost nothing.</description>

		<description>Yes its true - Westlaw and Lexis will need to figure out how to be kind to their customers. Thankfully the “take it or leave it days are over!”. 

But, something not mentioned is that if all this information is free to the public ( I see lawyers / paralegals / librarians jumping for joy) - one thing to consider is that we might see a small decrease in a need for law firm services.....Just something to consider when jumping for joy. 

Yes, we all bring something to the table ( some type of legal training) but how many people do you hear quoting medical information they’ve DISCOVERED on the internet. AND –“surprise”;  they are not doctors and most have little or no medical training.</description>
