Just Fax Me

People seem to be moving further and further away from using a fax machine to send information and communicate ideas with each other. I really don't understand why. There was a time when faxing was hip, fashionable and a priority for many in the business world. Just look at these pictures of Punchy and myself faxing not just a few months ago:



 

Pretty cool right? Well, I thought so, but it was recently brought to my attention that the skill of faxing is nearly obsolete. This is devastating news, because I know first-hand that emailing isn't that cool — trust me, I've tried it — and come on... scanners? They totally copied the fax machine, plus it only adds another step to the process. I guess it doesn't make much sense fighting technology. It's only there to make our lives easier, right?

You might want to check up for yourself on other skills that are obsolete.
I also found that skills like Wearing a Hat, Common sense and Living are apparently not up to par with today's standards.

apparently proofreading is also obsolete, based on the quality of the writing on that website.
