QR Codes

by Andrew McCaskey
Since the late 1970’s PaperBytes, there have been attempts to get information inexpensively into computers through some sort of printed, machine readable system.

The QR codes might just now have a chance. Apparently the company Snappr had been actively promoting them, fell on hard times, and have been purchased at a fire-sale price by a company in Japan.

What a difference a year or two can makem ! The Japanese company already has a million customers for a 2D barcode app, and has the customer base and financial strength to make the jump to 3D QR code.

There’s got to be something in the works, if Google is using it as a Yelp competitor. It just had to arrive at the right time.
