QR Codes, short for “Quick Response Code”, could be the next wave of the future. But just what are these digital doo-hickeys? Are they just another Universal Product Codes (UPC)?A strange logo? Part of a super secret government plan to track your every move? Nope, thankfully not.
These funky codes can be scanned with the camera in your iphone, Smartphone or a Blackberry. Scanning a QR Code allows you to obtain instant answers and links you directly to whatever you may need.
To experiment with QR codes, you'll need a couple of tools.
First, install a QR scanner app on your smartphone. Search the Web for "QR Reader" and the model of your phone to find a scanner app; they're available for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Nokia, BlackBerry, and other app-based phones with a camera built in.
Once you've got a scanner installed, point it at a code to give it a try, like this one (above).
