My father witnessed an instance of this. At the early days of the Internet, he purchased a tech magazine and so he ended up talking about all the new possibilities that the Internet was offering, including emails. His friend said: "Yeah, but this things are not going to last: people will always prefer to send a fax".
- codegeek 4y agoPlot twist. Fax is not dead yet even in 2022. I was at the DMV and they asked for something to be faxed. Yes, faxed unless I could produce the original in front.
- quercusa 4y agoBecause nobody could create a fake document and then fax it?
- OJFord 4y agoMaybe they're going for plausible deniability - 'yeah, that could be a faxed copy of the original, and I am receiving it over fax, so it could never be original' vs. 'this is clearly not the original'... The irony of course is that any non-original copy of a document presented in person is a 'fax' (facsimile)!
