QR codes can be fanastic and very useful but there are always down sides to technology. Unforunity, there are people in the world that will abuse the knowlege in the world today.

My QR Code Research

During my class time researching QR codes Heather and I made a poster with QR codes to the School News. We went on YouTube and took the link for each news. Then we made the links into QR codes using a generator online. Next we printed the QRs and put them onto a poster board with the date of the news. Heather and I hung the poster in the loby of the school so that students could scan the QR codes and watch the SHS News without a problem. This project not only benifited Heather and myself with our knowlegne of technology but it benifited the school. This was a fun project and I really enjoyed it.

My Opinion on QR Codes

I think that QR codes are a fast and easy way to access a website. I love that with QR codes it takes less than 5 seconds to scan a QR. QR codes act as a link but without the work of typing the whole URL. Heather and I made a poster for the school news and used a QR code for every news that went straight to YouTube. As QR codes become more popular, people are starting to use them in more creative ways. Business'  are using QR codes on their business cards, merchandise and advertisement. I think that QR codes are a great way to link the technology we have today with the real world. On cell phones there are multiple apps for a QR scanner. One of the best apps is i-nigma. All you do it hold your phone up to the QR code and i-nigma takes you straight to the link. It is also easy to make a QR code. There are many QR code Generators online. QR codes are going to become more popular as technology increases. Hopefully everyone will be formilar with QR codes in the future because they are very useful.
