Just when you think you can't put QR Codes on anything else that's news to us, up pops something. Surprisingly, this escaped our radar for a while but now that we know about it, it is just simply astonishing.

We are living in a technologically advanced society, teaching our kids about the internet, YouTube, website design, blogging and Facebook/Twitter is no longer enough.

Experts' been saying that there will be more QR Code in use and to be found this year, now that more and more people have become aware of the sheer potential that lies within the technology. Google, for instance, is already in love with the idea of integrating QR Codes with their search engine results or GoogleMaps. They have been heavily promoting it too.
