Stuck in a horrible time lag called THE FAX MACHINE!
Everyday we here of breakthrough technologies revolutionalizing the world and simplifying our lives. I mean everything from automodbiles, medical technology, televisions, mobile phones, and of course our personal computers and laptops. The question that perplexes me is with all of the technology that is developed every day why are we still using the same old fax technology that has been the same for years? The first fax machine was developed in 1843 by a Scottish inventor named Alexander Bain even though it did not gain widespread popularity until the 1980's but it still works on many of the same premises as it did in 1843. How often have you had to fax a document back and forth so many times that there is absolutely no possible way to even read whats on the document? There are of course some things that can be done to help minimize document degredation such as using web fax and generating and singning documents on tablet pc, if you have to fax documents there is no real escaping the glaring inneffiency of fax machines in our technological age. I look forward to the day in which some one finds it relevent to upgrade this ancient but essential tool of our trade. Please if anyone knows of any upcoming new fax machines that will relieve my headache please keep it a secret no longer.
