Do You QR?

Do You QR?

What the heck is this a picture of?  And why do I care?

As we move into the age of mobile computing, images like this will be more common than ever.  

You'll find them on websites, in magazines, brochures and even on buildings and doors of businesses around the world.

So do you know?  

Award yourself an extra hour of internet surfing time if you know that this is a QR image.

A what?  

A Quick Response code.  It's a barcode for coding information.

From Wikipedia:
A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.
Armed with a smartphone, you can use an app to "read" the QR image you find in the real world that will save you from typing in the text into your mobile browser.   

Perhaps it's a URL to an upcoming event.  Or a link to a restaurants online menu or online ordering system.

And now you know.
