Telex machines are still used. Not widely, and their days are numbered, but they still play an important role.

1. In parts of the banking and financial system they are still used for some types of trade and confirmation, because telex messages are legal documents unlike faxes or emails. Both sender and recipient are formally identified (they have to be subscribers to the telex network), neither party can deny the transmission (the sender can't claim that they didn't send it, nor the recipient that they didn't receive it), and the message can't be faked.

2. Ocean-going ships are still required to have telex machines, as a safety requirement.

3. In remote parts of Africa, telex is still the most reliable (and often only) form of government and administrative communication. The very low bandwidth means telex can work in places where voice and internet cannot, such as over low quality radio or microwave connections.

What is advantages and disadvantages of telex?

telex has almost disappeared, superseded by the fax machine and email. The advantage over telegraph is that ordinary people could read the output (Latin alphabet cf. Morse code), and over the telephone that there was a written record and the recipient did not need to be present to receive a message. The disadvantages are, I think, that it is expensive and requires special phone connections.

What is the difference between a telex and a telegram?

The International Telex service uses machines called "telex machines" or "teleprinters". (One famous US make is the "Teletype machine".) Such machines are connected by "telex service lines". These are similar to telephone lines but do not use speech. Each telex machine has a keyboard, like a typewriter, and also has a printer . If you know someone you want to send a message to has a similar telex machine, you can set up a telex call to their number - just like a telephone call - and then you can type in your message and the the telex machine at the other end of the line will print it out. <><><> The old-fashioned "telegraph" or "telegram" system used lines similar to telephone lines but did not use speech. It was used to send messages from one place to another by using electrical on/off signals, similar to the dots and dashes used in the Morse Code. A person who wanted to send a telegraph message - also known as a "telegram" - would have to write it clearly - using block letters and numbers - onto a piece of paper called a "Telegraph Transmission Form" and had to take it by hand to a "Telegraph Office". A person called a "Telegraph Operator" then had to read the form and tap-in each of the letters and numbers into a machine called a "Telegraph Machine". The signals made letters and numbers appear on a similar machine at a "Telegraph Office" in the town where the person lived who was to receive the message. The machine at the "receiving station" actually printed out the letters and numbers onto a strip of paper just as they were sent out from the keyboard of the "transmitting station". The strips of paper were then pasted onto another sheet of paper, called a "Telegraph Reception Form" - or Telegram - and that was hand-delivered to the person it was addressed-to.

When is a computer language called machine dependent?

When the code is targeted towards a specific machine architecture. Machine code is entirely machine-dependent, as is the low-level assembly language used to produce that machine code. High-level languages are not machine dependant, however source code can still be targeted towards a specific architecture or platform. Such code is non-portable, however many high-level languages provide methods to filter machine-dependant or platform-dependant code such that the same source code can be compiled on different machines and platforms.
