iLearn QR Codes

OK...SO WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO USING THESE NEW FUNNY LOOKING BAR CODE THINGYS ON A REGULAR BASIS HERE IN AMERICA.

MILLIONS IN ASIA SURVIVE AND THRIVE BY USING QR CODES OR QUICK RESPONSE CODES. THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES THERE BUT ARE POPPING UP MORE AND MORE IN AMERICA.

BUT WHY ARE THEY THE CRAZE OVERSEAS AND WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT IF YOU SAW IT HERE. AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

IN TONIGHT'S ILEARN REPORT...EXPERTS SAY...GET READY...THE QR CODE...IS COMING FOR YOU...

HERE'S ONE ON A WENDY'S BAG... AND EVEN ON A PARMESAN PIZZA HUT CONDIMENT.

AND YOU CAN FIND THEM ON THIS CAR DEALERSHIP AD -- TALKING ABOUT NEW TIRES.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR-- YOU CAN'T MISS EM-- Q-R CODES ARE EVERYWHERE.

BUT...THE PROBLEM IS...A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T LOOKING FOR THEM...

Q-R CODES -- OR QUICK RESPONSE CODES ARE TINY CUBE- LIKE... GLORIFIED BAR CODES...WITHOUT THE LINES.

THEY'RE DESIGNED TO LINK YOU TO WHATEVER MESSAGE A BUSINESS OWNER ... ORGANIZATION...

OR JUST EVERYDAY PERSON-- IS TRYING TO GET OUT.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS GET THE Q-R APP -- AND THEN SCAN ONE-- TO GET THE MESSAGE FROM THE ADVERTISER.

Q-R CODES ARE NOTHING NEW-- AT LEAST IN ASIA-- WHERE THEY'VE BEEN USED FOR 20 YEARS.

SO ADVANCED:               

THAT IN KOREA... IN ORDER TO COMPETE WITH A RIVAL CHAIN... A COMPANY CALLED TESCO PUT UP VIRTUAL GROCERY STORES IN SUBWAY STATIONS.

FROM SUBWAY STATIONS TO SCARVES TO BUSINESS CARDS... TO WHATEVER YOU WANT--Q-R CODES CAN BE CREATED TO GO ON ANYTHING-- AND BE SCANNED AT ANY TIME. ..WITH WHATEVER MESSAGE YOU WANT TO SEND.

MAKING IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS TO GET THE INFORMATION THEY NEED... MUCH FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
