This survey #2 about IT guy, app designers and their evil spawn who force us to do stupid things in this digital age when things were working quite well already. I was thinking rebelling and now you might want to join me.

1. QR Codes are handy for some people, but not for me. I see them as an (unwelcome) addition to what appears in print but not a substitute for. In this example, a QR code has been used to provide important information consumers are looking for. "What time does this mall open?" Instead the mall expects everyone to have a phone with a camera that can read this code, go to a website and get the information. On the other hand they could have simply printed their opening hours (a screenshot of the webpage). Do you scan these codes or avoid them if you can?

I use the QR codes - comment what you like about them.

I avoid and/or dislike QR codes - comment what or why.

I can't use them for technology or other reasons - comment on why you can't use them.

2. This over reliance on technology can have tragic consequences. Here is another example of the use of a QR code in a totally inappropriate setting that does not make sense when the information behind the code may be needed by everyone (with a phone or not) and needed instantly (whether one has arthritis and can't use the phone buttons or not). Do you think anyone will ever scan this code?

Did you scan the QR code(s) above to see what they were? Please share because I didn't scan them.
