🔗 Fax machines and cash-only stores: Japan struggles to go digital.

Not just Japan.

Personal story; I needed to go see a doctor here in California for a routine check up. Last three years of history is actually in New Zealand.

Please have your doctors in New Zealand fax all your records to this number.

Fax? Much easier to send in email.

Clever is all.

If this goes according to plan, you can read this on;

LinkedIN
Mastodon
