When you go to department stores, restaurants, and other establishments around the city, you are sure to find these weird-looking icons displayed at the cashier area—white squares filled with black squiggles that might look alien to you.
You might ignore these, thinking that they’re just a millennial thing. But titos and titas, what you do not know is that these cute little icons will help you in the long run.
They are called QR codes.
What is a QR code and how does it work?
QR, or Quick Response codes, were first created by Denso Wave in Japan in 1994. They’re like bar codes but are super high tech in terms of the amount of information they can hold.
These unique 2D patterns are scanned using mobile phone cameras through a QR scanner app. When the device recognizes the code, it lets you access websites, download files and videos, view other digital content, and even process mobile payment just by using your smartphone.
Imagine the possibilities of experiencing modern technology in your hands! You might get addicted to scanning every QR code you see!
