You’ve seen them, and possibly wondered if they are a newversion of the Rorschach test. But no, QR codes are really just a shortcut – notyping or clicking, just scan the code with a smartphone and watch your screen. And these days, who isn’t looking for a wayto save a little time.

QR Codes are two-dimensional matrix codes that connect thephysical world to the Internet. The connection takes place when a user scans aQR Code using a smartphone equipped with a camera and appropriateapplication. 

Scanning a 2-D code eliminates the need  to manually key text — the code connects the user to a URL, plays a video or displays text.

QR Codes haveactually been around since the mid-90s, but only recently gained popularity inthe marketing arena.
