The IEEE Tokyo Tech Student Branch is organising a talk on " The Rise and Fall of the Fax Machine" by Dr. Jonathan Coopersmith.
Faxing became an essential communications technology in the early 1980s in Japan and the late 1980s in the United States. In the late 1990s in the United States and early 2000s in Japan, fax lost its primary role to e-mail, the worldwide web, and internet-capable cellphones (keitai) as economics, perceptions, and the environment shifted against faxing. This talk explores this evolution.
Jonathan Coopersmith, an Associate Professor of History at Texas A&M (Agricultural & Mechanical) University, is a visiting Fulbright lecturer/researcher in the Titech History of Science and Technology Group, Graduate School of Decision Science and Technology.
