Huh? I don't know where this comes from. 10 years ago you'd need a SCSI card and a several hundred dollar scanner to get decent (e.g. 300dpi or above) scans, and it'd take many minutes to scan a single page, not counting any technical troubles. Now you can buy a USB 2.0 scanner for much cheaper and get higher resolution, higher quality scans much, much faster.
I think the moment we get in-built scanners into laptops, fax machine's days will be numbered. Until then, it will remain super difficult to scan a document at home(when scanner is at work) or struggle with drivers of the scanner etc.
