I enjoyed this read, but:

> For the recipient, a fax is a physical reality. It requires paper. It requires ink. It requires time.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was also digital.

> I imagined Karen’s fax machine. It was probably an old, beige beast sitting in the corner of a gray office. It was likely low on paper. It was almost certainly low on patience.

I think the rest of the article was also their imagination.

> "Sir, please. You have to stop the fax. It’s… it’s been printing for an hour. It’s jamming the machine. We’re out of toner."

People only speak like this in fan-fiction.
