There are a lot of popular magazines of the time at  
americanradiohistory. com.  If you go through these and also look at  the 
FCC applications you will find a great deal of publicity for FAX.  Finch 
Telecommunications, who held a number of important patents and made  FAX 
equipment was one of the principle promoters. There was actually FAX  
transmission on the air experimentally but it was not successful for  
reasons other posters have mentioned.
As far as the  atomic house and flying cars one has to look no 
further than Hugo  Gernsback publications or Popular Mechanix.  What I 
find interesting  is that the traffic congestion in the air was as bad as 
that on the  ground. All those autogyros flitting around.  Of course, 
everything  was to be atomic powered.
Some of these magazines had a  "predictions of the future" feature, 
usually what they thought the world  would be like in 25 or 50 years. The 
missed pretty widely more often that  not. I also always wondered why 
anyone thought some of the future ideas  were even desirable.
I think it was the Japanese that really  put FAX on the map. Japanese 
is a pictographic language, not well suited  to telegraph or printing 
machines. FAX is ideal.
