To me it’s fun way to use it; but it’s effective, recently I am using QR code in my web version images, like Facebook and other social media to maintain and use it properly. I think it’s work to boost your work and protect your all web contains, as usually, but it’s need a few seconds to prepare it, anyway. When you scan the QR code through the mobile apps than you can find URL link, easy way to go through the URL links if you know more about it. In this image, I use QR code, see the left side of the image black square barcode. 

According to the several web contains I visit to know it, the Quick Response Code is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached.

Now a days QR code use wider level to use it for the various reason. Users can generate and print their own QR codes for others to scan and use by visiting one of several paid and free QR code generating sites or apps.The technology has since become one of the most-used types of two-dimensional barcode.

I am always love to like technology and user friendly. I think you try to use it to your own prints and web contents. Life is a technology, keep in touch and upgrade your technology . . .
