I don't know that faxing is the worst.
I'd say email is to faxing what radio is to ham.
Some day when the world burns and our enemies have destroyed the web, there will be nerds faxing each other over POTS.

I don't know if faxing is the worse either, but it is still one of the worse. Honestly though shouldn't printers be on the list, at the least the crappy ones?

I work at a law firm. So depending on how far a case dates back to we still deal with old tech. We have a Sony 3.5" floppy drive that connects via USB. We have even thought about trying to find 5.25" floppy to USB.

Maybe I am just showing my age but I remember hooking up my 9 pin dot matrix printer to my Epson 8088 DOS-based computer and running a word processor called (I believe) First Choice. That was an adventure. That comic doesn't even begin to touch on that.
