3 Readings For My Vlog

For my exam my job was to look into QR codes and hyperlinks. I was able to find a host of information regarding the topic. I was also able to find out a lot about QR codes and hyperlinks. What is even more interesting was how I was able to take some of the readings that we had read and see how they were able to tie into QR codes and hyperlinks?  In the Article entitled As We May Think by Vannevar Bush, he says that “Science has provided the swiftest communication between individuals; it has provided a record of ideas”. Automatically I think of the exhibit that was shown in our class room and how, through the use of QR codes one would be able to view the exhibit simply by scanning the bar-code from their phone. Bush was correct when he said that science has provided the swiftest communication between individuals. We can relate this to hyperlinks and how they are able to direct us to different sites and information all while allowing us to stay on the same site, while moving at a rapid swift. Licklider said in his article that " it may be appropriate to acknowledge at some point we are using the term computer to cover a wide class of calculating data processing",  I believe that in some way shape or form we can classify QR codes as a form of data processing. Reason being is because when a QR code reader processes the information from the bar-code on an item the data is transferred from the reader to the web, were an individual is able to retrieve information or as Licklder would say process data. Wiser wrote that" computers will come in different sizes each suited to a particular task". In a way our phones are transformed into a computer device once we have downloaded the QR codes reader application to our phones. Simply because the application performs a particular task that will allow users to retrieve and gather information. I believe that our readings were able to incorporate a lot of different information related to QR codes and Hyperlinks.
