They allow for swift delivery of food to our tables, for getting information in public spaces, for use as boarding passes on planes and trains, paying for goods and services, and even for vaccine passes. These cute puzzle-like squares finally made their way into the hearts of the masses and technology had adapted too. Jump forward to a world of intermittent lockdowns, of face coverings and isolation, of the need to social distance, and the ultimate rise of the QR code. Around 6 years ago I began using them in my business but the truth is that most folks either didn’t know what they were, couldn’t figure out how to use them, or they simply didn’t possess tech that allowed them to scan one! Naturally, I stopped using them, assuming they were a fad and simply weren’t going to catch on.Įnter 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic. I was a always a fan of the humble QR code.
It would take over 15 years and a whole pandemic to make them popular beyond their original intent, and I’m glad that they survived. Invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara in Japan, QR codes were used as a way to quicken the car manufacturing process by being able to identify parts at speed.
