1843
In 1843 in England by Alexander Bain
1843 was the year that an image was able to be transmitted over an electronic signal - a similar process to today's fax. By about the time the US civil was was ending, there was an image transmisison service running between Paris and Lyons. The "modern" fax machine was invented in around the mid 1960s by Xerox.
First, "Fax" is simply military shorthand for, "Facsimile (fack-simm-uh-lee). The Scot, Alexander Bain, invented the facsimile machine in the year 1843 using the technology of Samuel F.B. Morse, who had invented the telegraph machine a few years earlier. The first fax machine was created by Alexander Bain, an inventor from Scotland. He received a patent for his invention in 1843, before the telephone was invented. Though this was more than 100 years before it became a part of every day life.
