Yes to all 20, but fyi, #11 isn't as outdated as some people think.  It's still common practice at medical offices to transmit medical records from one office to another via fax.  Some of their EMR's are connected to the fax line and it has the outward appearance of something like email, but it's still a fax.  And some offices still use plain old fax machines.  Deemed more secure for HIPAA concerns than email systems. 

Yes, but correct me if I'm wrong. It's not a fax with the thermal paper and a phone line that actually dials a number.  It's all somehow software driven, and the faxes are just digitally received and saved, not printed out like in the old days.  
So even though technically it's a fax, it's not like the ones we used to do with the scanning and thermal paper.  

So when's the last time you sent an honest-to-goodness, scan, call the number, feed the paper, get a confirmation page fax? For me, probably around the year 2000, +/- 3 years.  

Ray Bradbury's short story There Will Come Soft Rains, about an AI operated house that continues operating well after a nuclear catastrophe kills the family living there, begins with the lines:

"In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!"

"In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk."

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

Yeah, there are some weird quirks around companies/industries that still use faxes. Attorneys generally don't by choice, but we do when the industry we're working in requires it, which is rare, but not extinct.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

The Republic of Upper Volta, Now Burkina Faso, Gains Independence (1960)
In the European scramble for African territory in the late 19th century, France took control of the region that is now Burkina Faso. During World War I, however, the area was torn apart by violent opposition to colonial rule. To prevent continued uprisings, it was named a separate territory, Upper Volta, in 1919. When anti-colonial agitation resumed after World War II, the area became a republic, achieving full independence two years later in 1960.
