Subject: [MCG] QR codes bad or good
Hi,
I remember when QR codes were hailed as the next big thing. Is that still the hive-mind's opinion?
I'm aware of security issues. Are QR codes future-proof so users can access them next year, or in 10 years...? Other issues?
A long time ago I shared a panel (and actually one of those 'Lost In Translation' weekends) at a museums' conference in Lillehammer with one of the inventors. However, at the recent UKMW no-one said anything about QR codes. Indeed if QR was mentioned people would pause to spit! I am about to consult with a project who plan to literally carve QR codes onto stone plaques, along with inscriptions which may prove to have more longevity?
Any comments about QR codes please?
Thanks Ally
