Check out this video from the late 80's. It is a news report on how the Fax Machine was becoming the new technological craze in the late 1980's for businesses. It helped them communicate quickly and reach their customers.

After watching it compare it to the video that we watched the first week of class on the Internet. How are the fax machine and the Internet the same? What affects did they each have on society? Will one ever replace the other?

I remember being fascinated with fax machines when they first came out and hearing people ask how the paper was able to travel through telephone lines. There are still plenty of fax machines in use even though their function can be performed with a PC and the right software.
