Why do fax machines continue to exist in their current form?
14400 baud was the hotness TWENTY YEARS AGO, but today standing in front of a fax machine for five minutes makes me wonder what went wrong. As modems increased in speed, they did the whole handshaking thing to figure out how fast the other end could receive. Why didn’t fax machines do the same?

I’m doubly bitter about websites that make me fill out a form, print it and then fax it to them.
