14. QR Codes
“At its most basic, a QR Code is a barcode on steroids.
They're used for encoding information in twodimensional space -- like in the pages of magazines, in
advertisements and even on TV and Web sites. They
were originally used to track auto parts, but have
become popular (especially in Japan) for much broader,
often commercial purposes.” (O’Brien, 2010)
