Who still uses fax machines? Apparently, many still opt to fax important documents than email them. The reason for this is faxed documents don’t carry with them viruses that sometimes insidiously get into computers and could destroy years of database.

While it is easier to simply scan or take a photo of the document, safety is still the priority of many offices over convenience.
