It seems like you're making the parent point for him/her. Yes, governments should support 100% access. Requiring a fax machine for anything, as in this case, goes against that. (Great that the UK doesn't force this on people though!)
Edit: one line I like to use when asked to fax something is, "Oh, sure thing, I know there's a museum right nearby!"
- bobthepanda 7y agoAs I understand the requirement is not that fax is essential to the service, but there is a class of people you may shut out when you turn off the ability to fax. It's why I'm very skeptical of anything cashless or requiring a smartphone, because there is, for the foreseeable future, going to be a population that can't participate in a cashless, smartphone society.
- Scarblac 7y agoThere is also a decent part that can only participate by smartphone though.
- bobthepanda 7y agoThe answer is to accommodate both, not to shut out one or the other. That's what 100% access is.
- rightbyte 7y agoOnly want to participate by smartphone. I guess smartphone payers can handle cash, but people that can have credit cards can't pay via a phone?
