Comment on I'm doing my part!
Hawke@lemmy.world 3 days agoSeems crazy to me. I can’t imagine that 1 in 10 household even have fax machines. All the stuff you mention is business and medical stuff. Nobody faxes in their medical requests from home.

Except for maybe people who have terrible health problems or those who care for them

Nah. They might do it from work or maybe by email gateway.
Hell it’s only even possible for the 27% of homes that still have a landline. There’s just no way.

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 used a fax machine at least once in the past year or something. But 10% of households, and you can’t count email to-fax gateways?
No way.
