4. What are QR codes
 QR codes are two-dimensional (2D) bar codes that contain
small bits of data, such as an uniform resource locator URL
strings, phone numbers and email addresses.
 To read the QR code, a user simply launches a reader
application on their mobile device and takes a picture of the
image. The reader software will then trigger the appropriate
response, which can include anything from launching a URL in
the phone’s browser to streaming a video or MP3.
