Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

People still use fax machines? I wouldn't even know where to look for a fax machine these days! Is Kinkos still a thing? I think that's where I had to go the last time I faxed something 20 years ago lol
Hello, fax machine? This is Germany!
Healthcare in the US still relies on a surprising amount of faxing.
The Australian government used faxes well into the 2000s, I think the last three faxes I sent though were through my modem
The UK National Health Service (NHS) still loves fax machines. There was supposed to be a plan to phase them all out by 2020 but it never happened.
They are still somewhat common in some B2B sectors here too, although most businesses have migrated to e-fax systems now.
Prescriptions need to be faxed where I'm from.
Most copiers can have a fax card added. And most businesses that need a fax machine don't even do that. They have their VoIP phone service set up a virtual fax machine. If it even needs a physical part it's probably a little black box in a network closet, but now most don't even do that.
Real fun thing, did you know faxed advertisements were and are still a thing? At work we get like 3 random ads each day that come out of the machine.
When I have to check the efax and see these, I almost always save the clipart for use in inter-office memes before deleting them.
I'm pretty sure that's the most engagement these things have got in the past 20 years.
