The fax machine was once essential in Brazilian and American business culture, particularly from the 1980s through early 2000s. While largely replaced by email and digital document sharing, faxes are still used in some legal, medical, and governmental contexts in Brazil, particularly for official document transmission. The term remains in use even as the technology becomes less common.
