Task A: QR Codes as the most successful technology failures of all time
The QR codes are barcode like symbols scanned by smartphone users. This is intended for
information regarding few real-world objects. This can be museum exhibit and movie poster. This
has been simple to scan the code instead of typing unwieldy and long URL to the browser of mobile
Internet. Regardless of the fact it has been popular throughout the world, the technology never
caught at US. This is due to the reason that QR codes has been tending to be jarring and ugly (Pérez-
Sanagustín et al., 2016). Nevertheless, the concept of objects of scanning real world with the
smartphones has consists of many events. For instance, the Pinterest has currently introduced Lens in
the market. This app evaluates the physical items for finding same type of products to be sold online.
There are many reasons for failure of QR codes. There are worthless contents. From the
consumer side the scanning of the entire code has been found to be cumbersome. This has been
costing the different consumer with the effective efforts and time. Further, its value is unknown.
Next, there is consumer awareness. Here, the greatest issue that the QR codes that is seen s that that
the consumers are found to have demonstrated that there is devoid of any clue. Next, they have the
value as medium (Okazaki et al., 2017). Additional considerations are commonly ignored with the
intrinsic type of value of existing code. This has been as the part of the data. Further, the location is
other vital consideration. Here, the QR codes are there at all places and at every elements. Regarding
aesthetics the QR codes are ugly. Apart from this, the code present on the product is capable of
getting misinterpreted. The cause is that the tracking barcode art from the outlet of marketing.
Here, the failure has been has been related to technology failure. Besides, technology
management failures has also been there. The reason is that QR codes has been providing glimmer
of the future. This is the method to bring the physical interactions towards much more trackable and
malleable digital space (Chow et al., 2016). Nonetheless, despite the overwhelming push from the
