It will pave the way for awesome competitions and marketing ideas just like this!

I must have one of these! Can you get the software for a nokia 6500? Please say yes. PLEASE!

Because I won't get to enter competitions like this.

Problem: Tallin, Estonia, December, 0 degrees, Outside tourist attraction, Dial 1921 for information, international roaming rate, press 3 for english, cold!
Solution: QR Codes!

By integrating into mobile handsets like Google's Android to pave the way to enhanced shopping, navigation and everyday life experiences.

Because now I can finally replace my decoder ring, with something that is socially acceptable for a 27 year old to use.

damnit. why does it have to be for telstra and nokia phones only.

People can win prize as cool as PS3 anytime anywhere!

QR Codes make life easy because they allow gadget freaks to have their own new cool language!

Well, it will save space, because we won't have to look at long-winded articles like this any more. We can just scan it instead.

By giving us useful information with the click of a phone button, we will always have something new to discover no matter where we are!

Dave - you're in luck!

You're phone is supported!

Ok i got it working! Wow better come up with a good answer now!

It will be 'our human generations' version of hieroglyphics...when the next humans find these buried in sand, they too won't understand what they mean!

QR's integrated into advertising/hidden in other media will be fantastic for creating hype. Imagine a group of people around a billboard taking pics.

By delivering alot of information in a fun & exciting new way, QR Codes will we big. Opening the door for exciting new promotional opertunities.

Fat fingers, small buttons = Epic Fail :(
Qr codes, Fat lazy bastard = WIN!
Qr Making a fat mans life less ordinary

QR codes allow devices to quickly read information, thus allowing the ever increasing demand for information to be much easier to transfer from paper to device.

You often get punctures out on the road, and QR codes mean you can now get your wheels off with no tools at all.

Allowing competitions, interesting new activities and challenges. Allowing for large volumes on information anywhere with no searching involved.

They will replace the current trend of people getting Asian character tattoos, thus giving others a good excuse to photograph attractive young ladies.

On demand content anywhere anytime in the blink of a camera lens

QR codes could provide extra contextual information on other types of visual media, readable by the everyday person, enhancing our information accessability.

Q: "What's that mean? I don't get it?"

A: "Snap the QR Code, it'll tell you"

It will revolutionize advertising and competitions as we know them especially with the auto-sms capabilities!

Because the world itself is like a QR code – best viewed on a mobile phone screen.st

One Word: 'businesscards'

my answer - www.hyperdesign.com.au/qrcode.png

I believe kind of people that would have QR installed on their phone are exactly the kind that would be up for something a bit more challenging and interesting.closing the gap between print and online content is looong overdue

Now all I have to do is put up a code to show where the parents have to drop the money...

Revolutionary because i found some software to support my hp 6515. yay i can has ps3 now?

Making me hold a phone up to the LCD monitor to scan a code..now that's out of the ordinary.

Does anyone remember that Vice Magazine did a promotion with QR codes in Australia last year?

Click that copy this select those paste here follow this type those select them push that press here no no I just QR it

because people will start hiding weird mad messages in odd places and only the tech will know how to read them... they we can take over the world wahahahahah!

Oh, its a sail ship!

This will allow for a new version of the 'Amazing Race' style clues. Can Australia be the first? I will RACE!!!

QR code spam. People will be so intrigued they will decode it just to see what it says. Thus falling into the trap.

The world will be less ordinary because it would be simpler if its was just written in text to begin with?

Because I have an iPhone, and iMatrix doesn't seem to work well to decode this so I am having to try and guess what the question is.

My answer:

It will allow me to use a collection of seemingly random squares to lure chicks into SMS'ing me by taking photos of barcodes they see on the street (that I planted) offering free 'services'.

it'll make advertising more interesting by only giving contact details to those who are interested enough to scan the QR code

They will enable IT departments to communicate in code, baffling everyone who doesn't have technical knowledge. Muhahaha!

marketers now have direct access to the 'geek' dollar

QR code is the yellow-brick-road of the underworld, paving the way for Sherlock Holmes style hidden mysteries! This excites me!

Because it will be so funny when all the tech-literate are getting extra content, while the n00bs stare at it as if it was a 3D magic-eye stereogram... "Oh, look, it's a pony!".

The mark of the beast will be a QR code. This will revolutionise the work of the devil.

Simple yet extremely functional and i was a little excited, these will fuel the most viral phenomenon we have seen, they will be everywhere.

Found coded message
Life less ordinary than
A grilled cheese sandwich

Gives new meaning to "A picture paints a thousand words". I envisage TV commercials with just a QR code displayed. Viva La Advertising Revolution.

It'll be somewhat strange when you ask a girl a question about herself & she just points you to a tattoo of her QR code...

this is useless if 95% of the population cannot read the damn codes due to unsupported phones for QR reader software.

Quit worrying and get

QR codes will revolutionise the use of black and white LEGO tiles, thereby promoting world peace.

"Because I typically only respond to codes like 'ELLIPSIS', this will certainly make life in the spy world a little less ordinary"

Better bar codes! For food; the usual PLU combined with info like ingredients and nutrition facts!
Use a phone for a running nutrition tally while shopping.

For anyone having trouble with QR codes, here is a link to an excellent QR code reader. I am not sure if this was the way it was supposed to work, but it didn't send me an sms, it just popped up with the message. This was the second one i downloaded and installed, the first one was crap but this one works really well. I have an E65, and it doesn't even need the sim card in it.

http://mosh.nokia.com/content/375E966D27FA414FE040050AEE044270/versions/all

lol, anyway i am sure this is not needed here but i thought i would add it anyway. Hope i helped.

One small learning step for techies. One giant leap on how the hell to explain how this works to non-techies

A downside might be that QR codes open a new door for malicia - i.e. QR-codes that point the user to a spam site, or a trojan/virus...?

OMFG!

Eliminate bogus pickup lines. People scan one anothers QR tattoo's, read their mobiles, then decide to hookup. Placement of tatoos will make life more interesting.

Interesting, you be the judge.

Ordinary is taking a hundred pictures and uploading every one to Facebook.

Less ordinary is focusing your phone's camera on something other than happy snaps!

Grown men will finally be able to leave each other "secret codes" without having to use something out of a cereal box.

QR 4 teh win. No h8ers here. QR 15 teh best! Everyone whether they're 16, 23 or 42 can use them!

Just grab your camera, point and shoot and now we have the chance to win the loot!

QR Codes are a step closer to a real application of Augmented Virtual Reality.

A shopper could be in a store, scan an item's QR code with their phone and learn all they need to know about the item from the information supplied in the code.

The code can have applications in all facets of society as all sorts of information can be stored in these easy to access codes.

By segregating who can and cannot enter competitions, thereby increasing my chances of winning! it's so simple!

Just QR it!

Scavenger hunts.
Mystery who-dun-its.
Cool competitions.
Any information at the tips of your fingers (or phone).
Endless possibilities.
A life less ordinary

What happens if they install QR codes in the local swimming pool change rooms, where you not allowed to use your camera phone?

Oh the dilemma.

It will allow all sorts of cool treasure hunt style promotions similar to the amazing race, where one clue leads to the next. awesome.

It will provide a new generation of school kids a way to pass secret notes and baffle teachers and parents alike

I dont know about you, but using QR Codes definatly makes everything feel alot like spy vs spy. From the school yard to the office the world will definatly be more interesting and secretive thanks to these japanese creations!

With the amount of data that can be stored and with the Quick Response time that it can be read. I think the Japanese may have had another use for this before some marketers leaked it to the world. War Games!

HEY HO QR CODES LETS GO!
SONY ROCKS SO DOES GIZMODO!
MAKE EARTH EXCITING WITH THE NERD BLOW!
GET NERD CRACK ON YA MOBILE PHONE!

Interesting concept. Could be used for tagging assets in asset management and checking whether anything needs to happen for a particular asset (maintenance of assets, like ships, etc)

Instead of giving potential partners your mobile number you'll flash them your personal QR code which contains all your details.

it's already unordinary enough to keep taking pics of a area of code multiple times, it's like being a voyeur on QR.

Dunno if this has been said before cause i couldn't be bother reading the other comments

25 words from Now.

I think this will break down the language barriers in the world. Everything from Street signs to labels could be made to carry these barcodes

A pixelated encription of bountiful knowledge.
The Quarcode.
Based on the all time favourite 'barcode' now with 20% more complexity.

They’ll forever remind Gen-Xers of old school 8-bit computer games and put a smile on their faces.

QR codes finally provide a us with a practical reason to use our mobile phone cameras ... besides drunken' antics – Gizmodo AU I’m looking at you ;)

QR codes will enable the technophile elitists to communicate plans about world domination in the open, without the soon-to-be-enslaved technophobes' knowledge, replacing the current long winded method of binary.

Techno-orienteering ;)

Most used viral marketing tool that everyone will take onboard. "A QR is a couple of hundred characters"

In a world of environmental degradation, QR codes have the power to reduce the printed material demand (e.g. retail catalogue information). QR codes are extraordinary.

A world with a lot more treasure hunts and puzzles like this and a world where information is literally at your fingertips.

Open source, easy access (for EVERYONE), to make and interact with these pixels (just pixels) equals limitless potential for anyone to advertise via newage graffiti.

If how impressed I was with scanning this QR code on my phone is any indication, everyone else will consider QR codes entirely extraordinary

It will be another GREAT vector for viruses targeted at mobile platforms!

it will force everyone to get Telstra phones! Corporate monopolies FTW!

Phone: Please hold still. Please hold still.
Me: I’m holding still!
Phone: Please hold still.
Me: *rage Quit*

QR codes will have minimal impact on the world due to raunchy text messages and 3G porn downloads marginalising their usage.

@ LOMAX

Hey you can't take my answer and repost it as text, (not as a QR code), if you win you owe me a PS3, lol, and Ed, just remember i posted this first and it was done in a more innovative way, lol.

It could open up a new range of lyrics for the Gangsta Rappers out there... look how easily it fits into the chorus of Ludacris' hit song Area Codes!

I've got hoes (I've got hoes)
On different QR codes (QR) QR codes (codes)
Hoes (hoes..hoes) on different QR codes (QR) QR codes (codes) !!!

The world will be much more interesting!Possible the lyrics to Telstra's new TV Advertising!

Making it a whole heap easier to find a geeky wingman when the odds are against you, yet still wearing stylish pixelated cufflinks...

QR Codes make a 2D picture interactive, and all the more attractive, getting web to my phone with a click, QR Codes will stick.

Augmented Reality, where your ordinary world is enhanced by context relevant data and realtime imagery.

2 dimensional barcodes one day, judgement day the next. skynet is watching.

Why is it called Quick response code? I still cant see the sail ship...I have been staring at this thing for hours now.

A world with QR codes is more participative, allowing greater interaction with objects we once called "inanimate".

My response is a QR code, linked in my name :)
Saves on words ;-)

QR clothing. Clothing with pattens on it which are QR, and only certain people can read it. It looks good, and contains a secret message.

This will make the world less ordinary by increasing telco traffic - we've been using 2D codes in Advanced Data Capture for years: no SMS needed.

Bang on 25 words if you don't mind a hyphen... and it's true. There's no need to send SMS traffic with this application - all the information is right there in the code, completely offline. The real applications for 2D barcodes are in medicine and healthcare.

QR codes quickly and easily bring the offline where I want it - online, let me show off my cool phone and impress my mates.

It will mean lazy people like me will never have to write anything down ever again! QR Codes - Just scan and save.

They're great for gigs, downloads on posters and hidden all over the city like DVD easter eggs.

My Answer:

Remember those clear plastic cards with colors on them that you'd get in a cereal box, and you'd have to hold them up to the TV during the cereal ad to see if you won? Its kinda like that. A bit of Fun.

Heralded by the Arecibo message, predicted in the DaVinci Code; the QR code augurs the start of the alien age... Now where's my spandex & powerglove??

For pure awesomeness.

The world can be covered in stickers with weird symbols on them that only the elite with QR code readers can understand.

THE QR CODE HAIKU

The QR code is
the way of the future in
product barcode tech.

Because of QR codes- start squinting at your phone! Inject new material into your brain, while encouraging the tech-generation to actually get out and about!

Engraving your name is ordinary. Laser etch QR ID details on to your tech so it can be identified if stolen. COOL!

QR Codes will give ordinary people access to a world of information at your finger tips via an ugly blob. Technology amazes me these days!

I'd like to have this on my license so nosy bouncers can only see my age printed, but not my name or address unless scanned.

QR codes will be the ultimate way to ensure that only the tech savvy journo's get the invitation to your products launch - not the ones who are in it for the free food!
