In my social media class we recently had a discussion about QR codes and what their future was. This class on twenty-somethings, living in this era of smart phones, and only a few had ever even used a QR code. This was crazy to me! These little squares can be utilized all the time! Companies and organizations are finding new and more creative ways to utilize these. People who think that these are the thing of the past obviously have not done enough research on these. Just looking at these stories that were found on a basic Google search will show you why QR codes are just heading out of their starting gate of innovation, convenience, and interaction.

The first article I posted is so cool. This artist embeds QR codes into his paintings and kind of does an abstract work on a city line and then the QR code is a picture of the real thing! So cool and makes art a little more interesting for those of us who may not enjoy it as much.

Now for the second article it has a ton of different ways that QR codes can be used. In class I discussed the shopping center anywhere because that was my favorite. Which you do find the most useful? Comment below...
