I'm 42 and have refused to use a fax for about 5 years now. In this day and age, there is no reason to receive busy signals while sending a document. It's still surprised by how many big companies that I deal with, that still want to fax things.
Over the years I've sent and missed dozens of faxes that were never received after being sent. The worst that has happened with email is that it goes to a spam folder on occasion.

Having said that, what were people doing 40 years ago for NSD? I understand that it was the same back then, but did they do anything other than the pony express?
