QR codes

Have you ever seen one of these and wondered what they are? No they are not some replica of a crop circle or a maze but a form of bar code that has become quite ubiquitous. You can find them in magazines, in newspaper articles and now in even on clothing. It is the kind of barcode that provides you with a quick link to a website for example simply by scanning the barcode with your smartphone. One can now also have your personal Quick reference code or QR code simply by having yourself scanned?! I know it sounds very Sci-fi so rather pay a visit to ScanMe for more details. Here is a heads up! In order to have a code you will have to give them access to all your FB details.

    Hey, I see the QR codes are really popular.

    I read a you magazine yesterday and they were printing these codes in the magazine which you could scan to get chatting with a specific person in the article.

    really looks like we would have to identify one another using QR codes in the future! lol
