Imagine the only way I could answer to your question was to write a letter, wait until tomorrow morning, wake up earlier, go to the post office, to envelope, to stamp - what stamp? Ah! Let me check your addres to see the stamp price - Double check the address or the letter will be missed. Ready. You will receive my answer in a couple of days... or weeks... or who knows when if the postman has a hicup :)

Then, somene invented the fac-simile aka fax. I write my letter, include some drawings, put love or angry faces, kiss the paper with a lipstick, fax all that to you and you get it promptly. IT WAS AMAZING!

Well, it is nothing comparing to a webcam, but we did not even have a computer.

Answer

Fax machine can transmit a copy or image of document in far distances. The trend right now is the online fax service which does not require a fax machine.This is highly secure and offers fast transmission.
