I’m social media dinosaur, admits judge in fall case

A High Court judge has said he knows nothing about Twitter or Facebook or how they work or operate.

Mr Justice Bernard Barton referred to himself as “a dinosaur” when it came to social media, adding he did not have Facebook, Twitter, or email accounts.

The judge made his remarks as he, this week, heard a personal injuries case in which a 22-year-old man has claimed his aspiring football career was cut short after he fell on a Dublin footpath.
