Why do we still use Fax Machines?

Until the generation that makes the rules dies then we'll be stuck in the past..

We live with our parents rules and pointless ways of doing things and our children will live with ours!

Why is a document for legal when you fax it than just scanning it and emailing it.

Isn't this a governmental thing?

Like using your phone to make gambling bets is illegal, unlike doing it over the internet?
 
It's because you can sign a faxed copy of a document but you can't sign an email.

Signatures are legal requirements for a lot of paperwork.

can you alter a fax after the fax machine scans it, but before the other end receives it?

using a sasnner.. --> photoshop ---> email
 
Scanning and emailing requires two steps, and a scanner. Faxing just needs the fax machine which most companies already have.
 
As is aluded to in a couple posts,

Fax's are recognized as unadulterable legal copies of original documents, often a signature signed document.

Computer Scan/email/fax systems unless configured with security or authenticity management do not provide the level of historicity required by most legal transactions.
We work with law firms that have such systems in place, but even they require traditional fax'ing depending on the type of document being transacted.
