Not just the government. Both attorneys and even more so the medical field rely heavily on fax.

In other news, people who can't operate a telegram machine suck.

For the same reason they don't understand how a frigging cotton gin works.

In 2019 you don't need fax machines.

because courts (see out of date government offices) require faxes of original materials rather than scans.

I shared the story with a lawyer friend. He said he clerked for a firm when fax machines were first coming out. The firm had a runner send a 30 page fax to another firm. The other firm called and said "WTF is going on with this fax?" The runner who sent the fax kept resending it because the pages were coming out the other side of the machine.
When I was a runner in a law firm, one Friday afternoon they told me I had to wait to leave until a fax came in (can't remember why someone had to be there to get the fax). It started coming around 4:30 and was over 100 pages, I sat there for what felt like hours waiting on that thing to finally complete

There have been times that people have asked me to fax shite to them. I just say "can I scan it and email it over?" and the answer always seems to be oh sure. How in the hell is faxing the first option?

When I was with a tall building law firm, the senior litigator gave the runner his car keys and trial bags and told the runner to "go down to my car and put everything in the trunk." So, the runner dutifully goes down, to the car and puts "everything" in the trunk - including the car keys.
The implosion was pretty spectacular.

Another good one: when I got out of law school and started at a firm, it was right when everyone was requiring smart phones. There was a meeting to teach everyone how to use them and everyone was required to bring their phones with them. When the meeting started this old partner wasn’t there, he yelled for his secretary to come in his office, and when she got there he was trying to figure out how to unplug his desk phone

The reason some business' still use them is they can't get hacked. So if it is a sensitive document fax is the safest bet. Most of your copiers now fax, scan, and email from the machines.

Because it's 2019 and only football teams on signing day use fax machines?
Which is retarded. Signatures on faxed docs and signatures on docs scanned to email hold up EXACTLY the same in court.

The only people who still use faxes are out of date government offices and doctors/insurance companies only because they have to deal with said out of date government offices.
believe it or not we get POs faxed to us from Fortune 500 companies every day. Some both fax and email the POs. We have asked them to just send in an email for over a decade to no avail.

Average IQ is 100.
How many people have IQ less than 95?

It's amazing how many people commented on the title of the thread and obviously didn't read what you wrote in the OP

Only time I really resort to using fax machines is when my beeper dies.

Edit: I hate faxes anyway ... it is the age of email and scans.

Everyone can thank Hipaa for them not going away anytime soon. In order to hack a fax you have to hack each individual one that is sent, or you have to be there where they arrive. Its complete BS security reasons why they are still around.

Yep. Analog hacks are basically impossible.
