There are a lot of people with old technology in their home that still gets used. Fax is still needed for lots of medical things, and not everyone has an office to go to.

Think retired people taking care of sick family members.

Nah. It’s got a big fat [citation needed] from me.

10% of people? Sure I’d believe that 10 % of people have transferred data using fax technology at least once in the past year or something. But 10% of households, and you can’t count email to-fax gateways?

No way.

The citation is in the article which is from a Consumer Reports study. In case you don’t know, they’re very trustworthy.

I’m not attempting to convince you that the figure is accurate because I don’t need to that. I’m attempting to get you to understand that a big portion of the population of the USA are just making do with what they have.
