When we bought our house I was away in Florida so the agent faxed me the paperwork to sign and fax back. I hope hotels don't throw out their business centre machines so quickly.

At work I get faxes from shipping brokers. They seem pretty tied to the technology.

I saw an old Charlie Chan serial from the 30's or 40's where the police used a sort of fax machine to send a sketch of the suspect to another precinct. They basically stopped the action of the story to give a demonstration because it must have been so astonishing at the time; not unlike how tech thrillers today showcase satellite and gps tracking and whatnot.

I wonder who's still using typewriters?
