I’m just barely old enough to have been exposed to the stress fax machines caused in the office ... “we’ve lost a whole day, everything’s moving too fast!” lol. Same with FedEx overnight. Little did they know.
remember when fax machine used those rolls of thermal paper?

I escaped a lot of crappy duties in the Army, because I prepared a daily report of high importance. It had to be prepared in seven copies. Four were in the form packet, and three more from tissues and carbon paper.
And up to two mistakes were allowed, with crossover, initials, etc.
Make the third mistake, and you started over, which meant loading three more pages of tissue and carbon.
I labored thusly, while my boss had locked securely in his bottom desk drawer, the roll of scarce electrographic copy paper, for the seldom used machine.
So when I got back to my civilian job, I was thrilled they had a fancy modern copy machine.
A few years later, along comes Faximile. Wow. The European subsidiary offices were ahead of us. But we caught on.
It cost a lot of money to use at first. I remember $6 per page to Europe.
