QR code (quick response code) was first
designed for industrial uses in japan. It has become popular due to the fact
that its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to the standard
UPC barcodes. Because of these facts, many applications such as product
tracking, time tracking, item identification, website identification and more
used the QR codes (Wikipedia). There are more reasons why QR codes have become
so popular. QR codes nowadays in 2013 really easy to use and to generate. We
can just use a smart phone with a scanner application and we can get the
information behind the QR code. For example, we can go to a particular website
just by doing a simple scan on that QR code and it will lead us to that
website. We don’t have to type the entire website URL out. Moreover, we can
also generate a QR code for the website we want by using some website which can
generate the QE codes such as http://www.qrstuff.com/.
It’s really easy to use and free. For example, the QR code above is my QR code
for my blog. If I want to tell my friends about my blog, I don’t have to give
them the entire URL but instead just give them this QR code and they can get to
my blog easily.

Just like you said, QR codes can spread so widely because of many reasons: its' convenience, its' unique identification and so on. In sum, your blog gives us one overrall situation about QR codes.

Nice post. I didn’t know that QR codes were designed in Japan, and no one else mentioned this simple fact on their blogs. It would have been nice to have a link to the Wikipedia article you referenced, but at least you linked to qrstuff.com. You are among the very few of us that actually explained how to generate a QR code, so great job. You also did a good job explaining why QR codes are useful.
