Scan This: People Don’t Give A Fuck About QR Codes

An extended rant about QR codes.

What started as a mild-mannered rant about QR codes…

Anyone ever used a QR code? No? Then please stop insisting they go on everything.

@jimwolffman *raises hand* For the @edfringe daily timetables of the free performers on the Royal Mile. Other than that, no.

@jimwolffman Agreed! It’s a silly, silly, overhyped technology.

@jimwolffman I have a good old rant every time they get brought up in a meeting, pointless technology at the moment

@jimwolffman My dream is to one day create a series of QR codes that all lead to different questions in a facebook quiz.

Conclusion

Given that the responses above are from a variety of digital, marketing, advertising and design-savvy people, all with fancy smart phones and things, and even they don’t like or use QR codes, I’m forced to conclude that…

PEOPLE DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT QR CODES.
