It is primitive but i cant fathom how a fax machine works it seems we just accept the fact that it does. but i stick a paper with a word on it and it comes out halfway around the world with my writing and the word through a cable i mean am i the only one that thinks it’s incredible and texting and seeing who your talking to or how does a cable push a picture movie on this flat box. my god it’s so beyond me it’s beautiful. i know history and art and philosophy and writing letters and mailing them but e mailing come on someone has to admit it’s strange how exactly it’s copied and shoved through cables. anyone care to in layman’s terms explain the fax or text? i get the pony express. i believe that technology is ahead of us because it keeps growing and we can’t keep up.
