And this is funny

March 21, 2012 By 1 Comment

robotqr And this is funnyI was reading in the PRINT edition of American Libraries about how all the cool kids can’t wait to use QR codes to access library programming via their smartphones. First: oh, sure. Second, who ever uses those things (or as Brian Kenney said on Facebook, “I think we should just donate a few examples to the Smithsonian and call it a day”)? Third, the article urges us to find out more about a library that is using them by instructing us to “click here for the details.” I want magic paper too!

    I saw that too! I’m glad I’m not the only one who was momentarily puzzled. I’m still not sure if it was a typo or meant to be ironic.
