I trust you have seen the little black and white boxes with squiggly lines in newspapers, magazines, in grocery stores and even on TV. Do you know what they are? They are QR - quick response - codes. They are the mobile equivalent of bar codes. And, you can read them with just about any phone that has a camera.
More often than not, those little squiggly boxes contain a ton of information. It may be pricing or details about a product or service. Some television shows use them to supplement the show’s content with extra bits of information or research.
As you might expect, I have come up with another plan. Why not have everyone get a QR code? It could be on your hand or face or most anywhere that it is still legal to show in public. You could have all the information that anyone else needs to know about you right there in that little box. When you go shopping, take a flight, sell something or just about anything, all your information would be simple to access.
And, in today’s world, it is not always a good idea to shake hands. So when you meet someone, just snap a shot of their QR.
Don’t like that idea?
It beats the way dogs greet each other.
