The advantages of QR codes were that you could encode a page of information instead of 43 characters. Although QR codes are still out and about, mostly in the form of embedded hyperlinks to webpages if you use your smart phone to scan them, they still haven't taken over the industry like I thought they would way back then.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-34443450093872558422021-07-01T12:44:28.434+01:002021-07-01T12:44:28.434+01:00I thought a bar code meant that shirts,ties and ev...I thought a bar code meant that shirts,ties and evening suits are compulsory. northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-1763080195772640362021-07-01T10:57:58.152+01:002021-07-01T10:57:58.152+01:00Nowadays the baggage handling system would be utte...Nowadays the baggage handling system would be utterly lost without barcodes.

Back then, I was quite fit in discerning the different varieties of codes. QR codes were just coming up; now they are everywhere, too. They have indeed made many things a lot easier and faster.
