Telex machines are still used. Not widely, and their days are numbered, but they still play an important role.

1. In parts of the banking and financial system they are still used for some types of trade and confirmation, because telex messages are legal documents unlike faxes or emails. Both sender and recipient are formally identified (they have to be subscribers to the telex network), neither party can deny the transmission (the sender can't claim that they didn't send it, nor the recipient that they didn't receive it), and the message can't be faked.

2. Ocean-going ships are still required to have telex machines, as a safety requirement.

3. In remote parts of Africa, telex is still the most reliable (and often only) form of government and administrative communication. The very low bandwidth means telex can work in places where voice and internet cannot, such as over low quality radio or microwave connections.

What is advantages and disadvantages of telex?

telex has almost disappeared, superseded by the fax machine and email. The advantage over telegraph is that ordinary people could read the output (Latin alphabet cf. Morse code), and over the telephone that there was a written record and the recipient did not need to be present to receive a message. The disadvantages are, I think, that it is expensive and requires special phone connections.

What is the difference between a telex and a telegram?

Oh, dude, a telex is like an old-school communication system where messages are sent over telephone lines using a teletypewriter, while a telegram is like the OG text message sent over telegraph wires. So, it's basically like comparing a rotary phone to a carrier pigeon, both outdated but with their own vintage charm.


When is a computer language called machine dependent?

When the code is targeted towards a specific machine architecture. Machine code is entirely machine-dependent, as is the low-level assembly language used to produce that machine code. High-level languages are not machine dependant, however source code can still be targeted towards a specific architecture or platform. Such code is non-portable, however many high-level languages provide methods to filter machine-dependant or platform-dependant code such that the same source code can be compiled on different machines and platforms.
