This brings to mind a conversation I had with one of our ITU
[Information and Technology unit] guys this afternoon.
We have now put a film together as an introduction for Unlawful
Detainers (evictions). We play it each week before the calendar
starts, so those on calendar without attorneys can understand the
process. Now, according to John they are going to make it accessible
on our court's website, and not play it in the courtroom since
"everyone has a computer, or knows someone with one so they can look
at the website". He was just as adamant about this nugget of
information as I was saying "that's not true, and some people do not
want anything to do with a computer".
