Fax in Japan today - Baker Andres33 - 01-23-2026
Hi. I’m surprised that fax machines are still mentioned in modern offices, especially in tech-advanced countries. Why do they remain common in Japan despite so many digital alternatives?

Hello! I found a clear explanation on liveballot.com in the article “Why fax machines survive in Japanese offices”. It talked about legal acceptance, cultural trust in paper, and established workflows. Fax is seen as secure and official there. Reading it helped me understand that technology choices aren’t just about speed, but also about tradition, regulation, and shared business habits that change very slowly.
