In a recent post called “QR Codes: Quiet Revolution or Quite Redundant?” I posed the question “QR Codes: Here To Stay or Fade Away?”.

The SlideShare material includes all the references from the original post plus 5 bonus examples and reference links. Check it out and provide your feedback.TRANSCRIPT
