As one of the most popular communication tools used mostly by business in 20th century, Fax makes remote copies of documents at speeds almost as fast as making copies on an office copier, about 2 to 10 pages a minute. Since the sending of messages through fax is cheap, easy and fast, it has become a necessary part for most business, such as hospitals, law offices, real estate firms, political organizations, technical support departments etc. Nowadays, this technology system has developed sophisticated that people can easily access it on personal computers.
Fax functions like two office copiers electrically connected by a telephone line. And its mechanism is similar to talking on telephone. For instance, when two people talking on phones, words are converted into electrical signals that travel over the telephone line to the receiving telephone. For fax, the scanning process produces electrical signals of imagines within the same range as voice which would be sent through telephone lines. Then the receiving side of fax machine reads the small black dots that from each character horizontally across pages.
Fax has come through a long period of time to become a successful product compare with other communication technologies, for example, telegraph, telephone and ultimately e-mail. The reasons vary from the series of questions raised from the development of this complicated technology system to its narrower use. However, the favor of facsimile didn’t last long and was replaced by other more advanced technologies soon. The primary challenges fax technology encountered during its revolution can be classified in five categories, technological, material, competitive, operational, and environmental, which also explain...

...p with new products to compete with other technologies.
In 1960s and 70s, for example, there were many startup entrepreneurs like information engineer Robert E. Wernikoff. He convinced several investors in 1963 that digital faxing could provide faster transmission and higher resolution compare with its analog. Then he started his development with a company called Electronic Image Systems. But later on he discovered that the technology he was working on was composed of many other technologies. And integrating them was a major challenge. Eventually EIS ended up shifting its focus from facsimile to survive. Lacking the financial and technical resources to complete and promote products was the same challenge to many startups. By 1971, of eight facsimile service companies established by 1969, one went down, and six of them had cut their budgets drastically.

Morse code and the telegraph were ingenious yet simple. Operators used a simple method of dots and dashes for letters and numbers. When the Morse Key was pressed the electric circuit was open and when released the electric circuit was closed. The electrical current traveled through the wire to a printer device that printed a tape of the code message which an operator would translate. This simple solution to communicating long distance has improved and evolved into a newer technology, the packet switch. The single signal wire has evolved into fiber optics. Communicating one at a time has evolved into mass communication.

Additionally, going the indirect route (calling an intermediary bank instead of the issuing bank) translates into a delay which could prove monetarily crucial. By the time the fax is sent, it might be no longer necessary.

Electronic Mail, a means of communication that is growing at a very rapid rate. In this paper, I will write about introduction of e-mail, the advantage and disadvantage of e-mail, mailing lists, sending an e-mail message, sending attachments, e-mail improvement, and security features. Introduction of Electronic Mail Electronic mail (E-mail) has become popular and easy way of communication in this decade. E-mail is a method of sending and receiving document or message from one person to another. E-mail is not only replacement for postal mail and telephones, and also it is a new medium. E-mail send plain text, images, audio, spreadsheets, computer programs can attach to an e-mail message. Using the e-mail, you must have a computer on a network. The computer must require a modem and phone line. Sending and receiving e-mail needs an e-mail program. Every e-mail user requires an e-mail address. This e-mail address is similar to a postal address. E-mail address is written as username@domain, for instance, PCLEE@juno.com. The username is used for sending and receiving e-mail.
The speed in which the mail is transported is an important factor in sending mail by either E-mail or the postal system. E-mail easily has the leading edge in this field. With a click of a button, a message can be sent and received in a few seconds to several minutes. Whether you are sending E-mail to someone next door or across the world, the time it takes to send the message is usually the same. Data files can be easily sent to someone over E-mail; unfortunately, the larger the file is in size, the longer it will take to send and receive the E-mail. Data files can be mailed to people using the postal system if the data is copied to a floppy disk or a compact disc. The postal service can send any kind of package, from a simple letter to a computer, for a price depending on its size weight, and desired shipping speed. The speed of the postal service is a problem though. A single letter can ta...
We learned a lot of things in this course, but I think the most important lesson I learned is that it’s not easy to be an entrepreneur. I was surprised to hear in the first class that 80% of startups fail, but after reading The Art of Start and E-myth Revisited I understood why this happens more often than one might expects. Some people start their own businesses for the wrong reason and some start with wrong mindset. I’ve always thought that if someone has a brilliant business idea and hardworking they will succeed and grow their business. However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
