Electronic Signatures: A Death Knell for FAX ??


The other day I signed a very important document without using a pen and it was done 100% online and you know what?  It made me think of fax. 

Okay, so I need to get a life. 

But the truth is that I conducted an electronic business transaction that required my signature on a document and go figure - I didn’t have to print it, sign it and fax it back. The sender used a third-party software product that gave me the option to “sign” the document online. It even gave me a choice that allowed me to draw my signature using the mouse on my computer.  If I didn’t choose that option, it filled in my signature for me using a special cursive-like font.  I didn’t like this because it didn’t look like my signature. So I chose to draw it using a mouse – not an easy thing to do, but at least I can say I “signed” it myself.  

Pretty cool indeed, but what made me think of fax?
