Faxpapers

Another entry from the "Been There, Done That" Department.  It seems that the internet was not the first technology to challenge traditional newspapers.  That honor went to radio.  As this post on Gizmodo explains, by the 1930s, people were already thinking newsprint would soon be killed by radio.  In response, some bright apple thought up the idea of delivering newspapers via radio through radios equipped with printers, or in other words,  wireless fax machines.
