Why do we still have fax machines?

Curated by Paul Helmick

I’m a Technology CEO and Experienced Entrepreneur. I love helping people use technology to grow their business.

Popular Science has an amazing article on the history of fax machines
In 1997, fax machines reached a peak with almost 4 million machines sold, down today to under half a million
The article highlights a new book – Faxed: The Rise and Fall of the Fax Machine from a technology historian at Texas A&M University
Check out the article https://www.popsci.com/why-fax-machines-still-exist for an interesting look back at faxing
Today faxing all but gone except for doctors, lawyers and pharmacies.
