Does Anyone Still Fax in 2025?
Countries Obsessed With Fax
You probably think fax died with dial-up internet. Tell that to Japan, where government offices process millions of documents by fax daily, or Germany, where hospitals choose fax over secure messaging apps, or South Korea, where even threats arrive by fax. While Silicon Valley was busy “disrupting” communication, entire nations quietly decided that fax wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing. These aren’t backwards countries clinging to obsolete technology – they’re some of the world’s most efficient, tech-savvy societies. And their stubborn loyalty to fax reveals something surprising about reliability, and human nature.
