An advancement in technology becomes a thing of the past quickly. But for some reason, the e-mail has not been able to do that with the faxing method, not completely, at least.The faxing method seems to be a wounded soldier that still has enough spirit to keep on fighting. You want to root for him but can't help but notice the war has ended.
Digital Woes
Sending a fax or receiving one is not something that comes up many times in our day-to-day lives, but it is something we are all aware of. Faxes are still a part of our lives because it does not take a historian to refresh our memories about them yet, so we should somehow be prepared for a fax task.Those of us who have embraced technology fully, probably have given up a landline and dial-up. Most of us have wireless internet and cell phones instead. To fax something, one is required to have a landline or dial-up because the data transmitted from the fax is only transmitted through a phone line.
Some of us who need to receive or send a fax have had to do a lot of leg work and research to find an establishment that will send or receive the fax. Some of us had to ask a local store or business establishment for assistance.
This assistance comes with a hefty price tag. Some of us thought we could dodge the leg work by using our computer's Microsoft Windows application, which can help with our faxing needs. It might all look good until you find out that you need a dial-up modem and landline to use this application. Oh, and just to add to the tension, everyone must stay off the phone. So, let’s hope that the rest of your household has a cell phone.
