Use of QR Codes

          QR Code basically refers to Quick Response Code. It was invented in 1994 by an automotive company in Japan called Denso Wave which is a subsidiary of Toyota. At early stages the code system was used to identify vehicles in manufacturing process. But now it has gained the attention of many people. Even today in Sri Lanka, you’d see number of print advertising, flyers, posters, invites, TV ads, business cards and etc. using QR codes to provide information.
 

 
The main advantages of this system are,

•        The ability to read the encrypted data faster than conventional bar codes.

•        Larger capacity of data storage and better error correction.

•        Wide spread use of smart phones which enhance the possible users up to a greater level

       
        At one stage, we fantasized people using their email address to introduce themselves to others. But the popularity and user friendliness of QR Codes could replace that idea in near future. People can let themselves known to those who are tech-known and get rid of lunatics with troublesome intentions.

          Even at a stage of emergency, it’s easy to use QR Codes instead of repeating the same message over and over again.

A personal statement

                We all have goals in our life. We follow them with our full effort but only few manage to reach the pinnacle of their dreams. We might not be on the top of world but somewhere in the middle. The truth is that it is where most of us are.

          One day you might see a good friend helping you which he/she neglected to do earlier and a stranger rejecting your request for a particular job which you’re barely capable of doing. That could be your dream job but the stranger identifies that you’re still not in a position to put the effort it requires. You would think “so what, a friend is helping you and a stranger is destroying your dreams“.

          The truth can be the opposite of what you thought. Your friend might ask for a bigger favor in return which you are not comfortable of doing… On the other hand, the stranger has helped you by identifying the true potential and guiding you. That person might have saved you from die hard work which you are not comfortable.

          What we should understand is there are no 100% white and 100% black people. Just because someone has been bad on you doesn’t mean that we should treat them in the same manner. Treat everyone with same friendly gesture.

Because,

~ LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE A BAD PERSON ~

          Everybody face difficult times in their life. Spare some time to help the people around you. Embrace their goodwill and neglect bad gestures.

          It will take roughly about 5 minutes for you to register in the web site. Type your email address, account name, password and you’re ready to stumble-up-on your cyber space.
