Barcode vs QR Code: Why We Still Use Both
A QR code can survive being 30% destroyed and still scan perfectly. A barcode can't survive one scratch. So why is the "weaker" one still on almost every product on Earth?
In this video, we break down the real difference between 1D barcodes and 2D QR codes, how they actually store data, why grocery stores still rely on decades-old laser tech, and the surprising origin story of the QR code . We'll also explain the one decision a Japanese company made in the 90s that let the QR code take over the world for free.
By the end, you'll never look at a checkout scanner the same way again.
