Japanese and the Fax Machines

(2/15/2013) Are you still using fax machines in 2013? Most people in the U.S. don't, but Japanese are still using it "a lot." As an Asian, it is still very bizarre to me. In a country that has most advanced robots and once a leader in consumer electronics, people at home and in the office are still using fax machine for communication. It says a possible reason is its aging population. But I think it can be a more deep rooted culture issue: Japanese do not like changes.
