What are QR Codes and Why Must I Download QR Code Software?

QR codes are those little squares with black and white boxes in them. You often find QR codes in advertising, however, they are starting to make their way into other markets. When you decode a QR code, data is revealed to you. This data is normally a website address, however, it can also be a QR code vCard, mobile video or a secret message.

Most phones do not come with the software to decode QR codes out of the box. For this reason, you must download QR code readers to decode the contents of the any QR code you may come across.
