The U.S. Supreme Court persistently resists TV cameras--a 20th century technology--in the court room, a position Congress may change (see Senate bill 1945). The Justices also resist citing that premier 21st century resource: Wikipedia. A recent Wall Street Journal Law Blog report reveals, however, that lower courts are not so immune to the charms of the online encyclopedia, citing entries on Elvis Presley and "Blazing Saddles," for example.
Some judges even more fully embrace 21st century technology. Last week, a Manhattan judge ruled that an Occupy Wall Street protestor had no privacy interest in his Twitter feed (see New York Times coverage). Judge Sciarrino reportedly peppered his ruling with hashtags--see BuzzFeed for a sampling--but it seems he did not limit himself to 140 characters.
