PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- The members of the Supreme Court continue to communicate with one another through memos printed on ivory paper even as they face the prospect of hearing cases related to emerging technology and electronic snooping in the years to come, Justice Elena Kagan said Tuesday.

Plus, of course, almost everybody in Congress and most of the Executive branch — a distressingly high percentage of people who can remember 1950, in fact — don't have a clue about the internet works, how the cellular network works, or where the pause button on the zapper is, which makes this whole so-called national discussion about privacy and security on the networks pretty problematical. Or worse. 

Maybe there's still a place for fountain pens. Or pigeons.
