Are Court Reporters going to become antiques?

In order to answer this question one needs to briefly point out that the slide rule became obsolete when the hand calculator arrived in 1975. As computers become smaller, the electronic calculator will become antiques. Depositions can now be taken electronically with a microphone attached to a laptop and electronic recorder is used as a backup if the laptop malfunctions. A notary administers the witnesses oath. Software exits that put the sound into printed word. As the older judges get replaced by more savy technology judges, only the notary public will necessary. No court reporters needed.
