Just the fax, ma'am
And more non-news on outdated business practices, this time from Ashifa Kassam on behalf of BBC Future.
She informs us that the Chongvirus is also putting paid to the fax machine. Yet another business tool that long ago saw its best before date, suddenly coming to the BBC's attention for its demise.
I don't recall sending more than two faxes in the six years that I've worked for MegaCorpCH, probably less than a dozen over the last twenty years. I'm pretty sure the only reason that we have a fax machine is because it came rolled into the multifunctional printer/scanner.
I wonder how many stand-alone fax machines are sold, or even still exist.
