The two sources I have found so  far are an article from Engineering and Technology wiki titled Fax Machines and an article from the The Glider Lehrman by Wendy Wall titled "Anti-Communism in the 1950's".

I chose the article Fax Machines because it helps he defend claims I make in my essay and it is a very reliable source. In my essay I write how advancements in technology are part of our natural evolution towards the furthering of our society, I use the Faxing boom of the late 1980's to early 1990's to defend this claim because it shows how faxing is a natural progression from mailing and improves our communication just as email and text do today. The article forces on the progression away from mail with emphasis on the faxing era. This is a reputable source because it is by Jonathan Coopersmith  an Associate Professor of History at Texas A&M University. He teaches the history of technology and modern European history. He's a  former member of the IEEE History Committee, he is the author of numerous articles and a monograph, The Electrification of Russia, 1880-1926 (1992). Coopersmith’s Faxed: The Rise and Fall of the Fax Machine will be published by The Johns Hopkins University Press in January 2015. The other article I chose is Anti-Communism in the 1950's" by Wendy Wall. It is about the 1950's and forces on the lies told by government to the American people. I use this article in my paper to show how before the internet it was easy to lie to the the general public because they had so little resources to fact check the information given, and to show how helpful resources like Google are to the world today. This is a reputable article be Wendy Wall is a Wendy Wall is an associate professor of history at Binghamton University and the author of Inventing the “American Way”: The Politics of Consensus from the New Deal to the Civil Rights Movement, along with that The Glider Lehrman is a site that post artilces for the use of students on research assignments.
