FAX machine is a 19th century invention!

I would have thought FAX machines would
be obsolete by now. As of last year The company
used to work was still using FAX machines regularly.
There was a heck of a paper trail involved in getting
parts ordered. Yet, come payday. Direct deposit was our
only option and if you wanted to view your check you
had to look at it on a computer screen. No paper involved.

20+ years ago the news around the (gov't) office was that we were
headed into an age where paper would become obsolete and everything
would be on computers. Then someone discovered that, through the
computer, information could be presented in ten different formats, and
of course, each manager needed a hard copy of each.
