Just The Fax, Please: Online Fax vs. Email
There are now dozens of different online fax services competing for your business. Some limited service packages are even free. How do they compare with the established, time-tested technology of the fax machine? In the online fax vs. email contest, is there a clear winner for all, or is the truth somewhere in the middle? Let's find out.
Fax machines revolutionized business when the technology became affordable (to businesses at first) in the 1970s. By the 1980s, they were ubiquitous in business and started making inroads into the home-office market. In the 1990s, faxes broke the psychological $99 price point and became a commodity item, for everyone. Improvements kept coming, making their use more affordable-plain paper vs. expensive special rolls, more dependable phone interfaces, copy/scan functions and so on. Faxes are still being used today, and are still a part of the multifunction office devices that themselves are becoming commodity items (and which are now wireless, to boot).
Fax machines are everywhere
There are approximately 125 million fax machines in use in the world today with more than four million new units being sold annually. Despite the rise of email and other communications technologies, fax machines continue to play an important part in business. Perhaps the main reason that faxes are still being used so widely is simplicity. They are easy to set up and use, have a familiar "appliance style" push-button operation and are thus a simple, nearly foolproof way to send and receive documents quickly and safely.
Because so many fax machines are still in use it was important for email to communicate with them. As with any new technology, the first online fax services were a little "clunky" and not 100% reliable. Those problems have all been addressed and online faxing is now straightforward and simple. With advancing numbers of computer-literate people in business, and society at large, some pundits have predicted the imminent demise of faxes. This is wishful thinking, as there are always people who will prefer appliances to cyberspace, and not everyone (yet) is using email.
Comparisons and contrasts
Email has taken over communications in business and the society at large. The great advantage of email is that it doesn't "kill trees"-no paper is used unless, for some reason, people need to print the message. Still, one has to deal with the huge numbers of people who are using faxes, so it is just a matter of commonsense to find the most efficient way of doing that. With online fax services, you don't have to get up from your desk to send a fax, or stand in line if there is only one in the office. The same goes for incoming communications-and with online faxing you always know when you have an incoming message. How many people have had their important faxes thrown away or picked up from the office machine by mistake? Too many.
Money talks, right? It speaks convincingly in this argument, and in favor of the online services. From limited free accounts to feature-laden services that still have monthly fees more affordable than a single toner cartridge, online faxing is a real bargain. Not only do you not have to buy toner or ink cartridges (the latter for those multifunction inkjet devices) you don't have to get dirty installing them either. You don't need "supplies" at all for electronic faxing, just an Internet connection and your trusty PC. Neither will you waste time waiting for a jammed fax to be fixed or a broken one replaced.
Time is money
You don't wait around listening to beeps and dial tones when you use online faxing, and you still get to multitask. As the fax is sent "in the background" by the online service, you are getting other work done. Think about how many five- and 10-minute pauses in your workflow are due to using a fax machine and you will conclude that you've devoted enough hours (days! months!) of your life to waiting for faxes to come, go or print out.
When you consider all the facts, it's hard to justify using a fax machine anymore. However, because others do, you need to accommodate them. A low- or no-cost online fax service will keep you in touch with every corner of the wired world, even the aging one, and save you time, money and frustration. You won't ruin a good pair of pants by getting toner streaks all over them, and you will do your part to create a more sustainable, environmentally friendly mode of business communications. Once you get the facts, you'll get the online fax service-it's that simple.

Dreams Of Speaking $4.12 'We must talk, Alice Black, about this world of modern things. This buzzing world.' Alice is entranced by the aesthetics of technology and, in every aeroplane flight, every Xerox machine, every neon sign, sees the poetry of modernity. Mr Sakamoto, a survivor of the atomic bomb, is an expert on Alexander Graham Bell. The pair forge an unlikely friendship as Mr Sakamoto regales Alice with stories of twentieth-century invention. His own knowledge begins to inform her writing, and these two solitary beings become a mutual support for each other a long way from home. This novel from Man Booker longlisted author Gail Jones is distinguished by its honesty and intelligence. From the boundlessness of space walking to the frustrating constrictions of one person's daily existence, Dreams of Speaking paints with grace and skill the experience of needing to belong despite wanting to be alone. |

Speaking in Tongues $60 Speaking in Tongues presents a unique account of how language has been employed in the theatre, not simply as a means of communication but also as a stylistic and formal device, and for a number of cultural and political operations. The use of multiple languages in the contemporary theatre is in part a reflection of a more globalized culture, but it also calls attention to how the mixing of language has always been an important part of the functioning of theatre. The book begins by investigating various levels of language-high and low style, prose and poetry-and the ways in which these have been used historically to mark social positions and relationships. It next considers some of the political and historical implications of dialogue theatre, as well as theatre that literally employs several languages, from classical Greek examples to the postmodern era. Carlson treats with special attention the theatre of the postcolonial world, and especially the triangulation of the local language, the national language, and the colonial language, drawing on examples of theatre in the Caribbean, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, Carlson considers the layering of languages in the theatre, such as the use of supertitles or simultaneous signing. Speaking in Tongues draws important social and political conclusions about the role of language in cultural power, making a vital contribution to the fields of theatre and performance. Marvin Carlson is Sidney E. Cohn Professor of Theatre and Comparative Literature, CUNY Graduate Center. He is author of Performance: A Critical Introduction ; T heories of the Theatre: A Historical and Critical Survey, from the Greeks to thePresent ; and The Haunted Stage: The Theatre as Memory Machine, among many other books. |

Speaking Minds $3.98 Few developments in the intellectual life of the past quarter-century have provoked more controversy than the attempt to engineer human-like intelligence by artificial means. Born of computer science, this effort has sparked a continuing debate among the psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers,and linguists who have pioneered--and criticized--artificial intelligence. Are there general principles, as some computer scientists had originally hoped, that would fully describe the activity of both animal and machine minds, just as aerodynamics accounts for the flight of birds and airplanes? In the twenty substantial interviews published here, leading researchers address this and other vexing questions in the field of cognitive science. The interviewees include Patricia Smith Churchland (Take It Apart and See How It Runs), Paul M. Churchland (Neural Networks and Commonsense), Aaron V. Cicourel (Cognition and Cultural Belief), Daniel C. Dennett (In Defense of AI), Hubert L. Dreyfus (Cognitivism Abandoned), Jerry A. Fodor (The Folly of Simulation), John Haugeland (Farewell to GOFAI?), George Lakoff (Embodied Minds and Meanings), James L. McClelland (Toward a Pragmatic Connectionism), Allen Newell (The Serial Imperative), Stephen E. Palmer (Gestalt Psychology Redux), Hilary Putnam (Against the New Associationism), David E. Rumelhart (From Searching to Seeing), John R. Searle (Ontology Is the Question), Terrence J. Sejnowski (The Hardware Really Matters), Herbert A. Simon (Technology Is Not the Problem), Joseph Weizenbaum (The Myth of the Last Metaphor), Robert Wilensky (Why Play the Philosophy Game?), Terry A.Winograd (Computers and Social Values), and Lotfi A. Zadeh (The Albatross of Classical Logic). Speaking Minds can complement more traditional textbooks but can also stand alone as an introduction to the field. |
