People hiccup because the diaphragm becomes irritated and pulls down and makes the person take a sudden breath of air.

The only way of getting hicup is to have a food stuck in your esophagus. Though I'm not entirely sure if that's the only method of having hicups.

What makes a person hicup?

The part to blame is your diaphragm. This is a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of your chest, and all hiccups start here. The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. When you inhale, it pulls down to help pull air into the lungs. When you exhale, it pushes up to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated. When this happens, it pulls down in a jerky way, which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly. When the air rushing in hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup.


Why did people like the fax machine?

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.AnswerFax 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.
