Technology has facilitated this considerably. Virtually all companies today have cloud services, such as e-mail, mobile switch phones, bank accounts as apps, invoices as PDF documents etcetera.

I was already working during the fax machine palmy days. The first thing I had to do when I arrived at the hotel was to fax the hotel's fax number along with my room number to the office.

I even made manual payments that I put in envelopes that my grandmother (the only one I trusted) posted on the dates I had written on the envelopes at the post office.

Although it was more complicated before, I was more free then. I have found out that it is easier for the office to call me than to write a fax.
