Fax Machines

Yesterday we where given a brief to make a presentation about a technology, we where asked to do this in pairs and myself and Hannah decided to work together, and after much deliberation, we choose to investigate something which was around us, however we did not know much about, and this was therefore Fax Machines.

We started out looking at the history and creation of the technology, and then looked at some of the problems with it.
One interesting fact we found was that a thing called a "Black Fax" is something that was and still is sent to coorperations with black pieces of paper sent through on a loop, continually faxed to a corporations machines, this causes the recieving fax machine to go into overdrive, which can lead to the fax machine and network to fail completely.

One video which we found, and found extremely helpful, was The secret life of machines - fax machines, which was presented by Tim Hunkin, which taught us some great ideas that we put into our presentation...
