"I was responsible once for getting data into those retail systems. Weight, pack size, dimensions.  these things would have saved myself a lot of work if they were stored within a QR code.  To you it may be a few lines of textual data, To the real world, a week of filling out forms to get those items into the retailer's system," - adam garrett

"I actually do see the real world possibility of QR replacing the UPC / EAN bar code. Both consumer, and retailer would be able to use the same tag in the way that suits them. the retailer would benefit all the way through the supply chain, and the consumer would be able to garner information at the Point Of Purchase (the shelf) all in one tag." - adam garrett

"I mention RFID as NFC is based on the same technology.    I also mention UPC bar codes.  The point being that these older siblings of NFC and QR did take some time for mainstream adoption." - adam garrett

"I remember the first time I encountered a QR code.  It was on a shipping label, people didn't even have cameras or color screens on their dumb phones yet. QR will survive whether your pocket facebook updater uses them or not.  so no, it's not a "fad"   You say it's not technically groundbreaking.  You are right, but neither was the UPC bar code when it was finally adopted.  Now go to a retail store and try to find something without a bar code. NFC is nothing new either. RFID has been around forever.  and we used to be able to "bump" our palm pilots to trade information. None of these things are new or faddish unless you narrow the scope to fickle app users. Will QR last in the smartphone world? Maybe, if the consumer finds a perceivable benefit and takes to it, and developers are able to integrate it more seamlessly, or combine it's use to create efficiencies." - adam garrett

"you assume too much.  I am far too familiar with bad neighborhoods.  However, maybe I am not browsing the "right" part of the internet.  Don't I already have channels for my clandestine efforts, though? In the words of Eazy-E You Too, Boy, If Ya Fuck With Me The Police Are Gonna Hafta Come And Get Me." - adam garrett

"anyone here remember how facebook exists or was started?  I am not at any more risk for being a real person using a web service than I am living life and introducing myself to real people.  actually I am more at risk in the latter. The guy on the street is more likely to harm me than the weirdo on the internet. If I want to make anonymous comments on something, there is a place for that.  I am certain that nobody on the interwebs will kill me. they will not ruin me because I give my real name.  If you want to live under the radar and hide your identity, then there are channels for that.  obviously G+ is not one of these channels." - adam garrett

"If you knitted it, then where did you get all of the souls that do all the work that  powers the machine ?  The apple / foxconn issue brought to light the fact that the Chinese workers are taking their lives so that their ghosts can be injected into the electrons." - adam garrett
