The fax machine is pretty old technology, so why do some people still use it? Pickr’s Leigh Stark joins 4BC to explain.
It might sound crazy, but the fax machine is still a thing. Oh sure, it’s not used anywhere near as much as it once was, but some politicians still pay for faxes, and there’s a pretty good reason why: security.
Simply put, faxes are more difficult to intercept and break into compared to emails, and some politicians and government organisations opt to use them for this reason. Will the humble fax machine stick around, or are there better solutions?
Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark joins 4BC’s Sofie Formica for an early morning segment on December 2. Listen to it on 4BC Breakfast below.
