Hey there, you youngsters with your fancy phones! You see them squares with the squiggly lines? We call ’em raw QR codes. Back in my day, we didn’t have none of that. We just wrote things down, plain and simple. But you all seem to like these things, so I’ll tell you what I know about ’em.
What is a Raw QR Code?
Well, it’s like a secret message, but not really secret, ’cause anyone with a phone can read it. It’s just a bunch of black and white squares all jumbled up. It is called “raw QR code“. You point your phone at it, and it shows you something. Could be anything, I reckon. Like a picture of a cat, or maybe where to buy a new plow. These days, it’s probably somethin’ about the internet. You know, that thing you’re all glued to.
This raw QR code, it’s like a little box that holds a whole heap of stuff. They put all sorts of things in there. I heard they can make ’em show you a website, or give you someone’s number. Can you believe that? All that in a little square. It sure beats writin’ things down on a piece of paper!
How to Use Them QR Codes?
- First, you gotta have one of them smart phones. The kind that takes pictures and does all sorts of other tricks.
- Then, you gotta find somethin’ called an “app”. I think it’s like a little program you put on your phone.
- This “app” thing, it can read these raw QR codes. You just open it up and point your phone’s camera at the code.
- And then, poof! Somethin’ happens. Magic, I tell ya!
Now, I ain’t never used one of these myself. I still use my old flip phone. It works just fine for callin’ and that’s all I need. But my grandkids, they’re always showin’ me things with these raw QR codes. They say it’s easy. They are always talking about this “raw QR code“.
Why Folks Use These QR Codes?
Well, I guess it’s easier than typin’ a whole bunch of letters and numbers. You know, like them long internet addresses. With a raw QR code, you just point and click. It is simple.
I seen folks puttin’ these raw QR codes on all sorts of things. On posters, on food boxes, even on them TV commercials. They say it’s a good way to get people to go to their website or learn more about somethin’. I guess it saves time, and everyone’s always in such a hurry these days.
And businesses, they love them. They can put a raw QR code on a flyer, and then folks can scan it and go straight to their online store. Then maybe they buy some of their items.
QR Codes Make Things Easy
These new raw QR code things, they can make some things easier. Like, if you need to find a place, sometimes there’s a raw QR code that will show you a map on your phone. No more foldin’ and unfoldin’ them big paper maps!
Or, if you want to connect to the Wi-Fi, sometimes there’s a raw QR code for that, too. You just scan it, and your phone connects automatically. No more typin’ in them long passwords.
Making Your Own QR Codes
Now, I heard tell that you can even make your own raw QR codes. I don’t know why you’d want to, but apparently, it’s not that hard. There are some websites or apps on your phone that can help you do it. You put in what you want the code to say, and then it makes one of them squiggly squares for you. Then, you can put that raw QR code on anything you want. This “raw QR code” thing is amazing.
QR Codes Are Here To Stay
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about them raw QR codes. They’re like little magic squares that hold a whole bunch of information. They seem to be everywhere these days, so I reckon they’re here to stay. It’s a crazy world we live in, ain’t it? But I guess even an old gal like me can learn a thing or two about these newfangled things. Just don’t ask me to make one, though. I’ll stick to my old ways, thank you very much. You young folks can keep your fancy phones and your raw QR codes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my garden.
