Another anecdote:
I was sitting outside a brewery last week that is right next to a mall here in Colorado. This is a mall that has both an outside and inside. We were right near a mall kiosk with a mini-map and a QR code that will let you download a map of the mall. Over the course of 2 hours, I saw about 10 people scan the QR code.
I think it takes non-technical people more time to understand how to use, and incorporate new technologies into their lives. I am of the belief that most people only realized how to use the internet effectively in the last few years. Meanwhile, it's been integral to the lives of many HNers for over a decade.
- c0nsumer 14y agoI do mountain bike trail work and mapping, and I like putting very large QR codes on the trail head sign kiosks with a note saying "Scan this QR code with your phone to download a copy of this map.". Year-old example (it's changed slightly since then): https://nuxx.net/gallery/v/travel/local_places/biking/PB150086.jpg.html https://nuxx.net/gallery/v/travel/local_places/biking/PB1500... I don't have anything in place (unique URLs or whatever) to track how often it's done, but I've personally seen a number of people using it just in times that I've been at the park and sitting near the trail head.
