fax

Fax is like sending a picture to a friend far away, but using a telephone line instead of the internet. Imagine you draw a picture and put it in a special machine called a fax machine. This machine takes a picture of your drawing and sends it through a telephone line to your friend’s fax machine. Your friend’s machine then prints out the picture, so they can see it just like you drew it.
Think of a fax as a magical mailbox that can send and receive papers. When you put a piece of paper in the fax machine, it’s like putting it in a mailbox. The machine reads the paper and sends the information over the telephone wires to another fax machine, which then prints out the paper on the other side.
Faxing is a bit like sending a letter through a magic wire. Instead of waiting days for a letter to arrive, the fax machine sends it quickly through the wire, and it appears almost instantly on the other side. It’s an older way of sending messages before we had email and the internet.
