How have you never seen a check at 30? I’m also 30 and I receive checks now and then, and I used to occasionally have to write them. At least here in the US, most jobs give you a paper check for your first check when you just started for some reason instead of that one going to your direct deposit. I also on occasion get a refund check of some sort in the mail. I’ve had to occasionally write a paper check to things like an apartment complex or utility service. It’s become significantly less common tho in 2025, but I still keep paper checks with my other important documents just in case.
Several years back when I was living in the northeast US, our local utility company was stuck in the dark ages. It didn’t have an online payment portal!
Fax machines have been built into copiers/printers for years now. That is…many printers have faxing capabilities. In the medical field, people send faxes all the time. But I’ve never seen a dedicated fax machine, myself.
