Imagine your supermarket checkout counter without barcodes. Every price has to tapped in. You won't have an itemised invoice.I've no idea what direct benefit a barcode is to me.

QR refers to those square patterns of black and white squares on billboards, van sides, magazines and flyers which require you to:
1. Remember that it is a method of accessing a website
2. Get your smart phone out.
3. Fumble with the password to gain access to your apps list
4. Curse because you don't have the QR app installed
5. Look for an open access Wi-fi spot because your download limit on 3G/4G has been reached
6. Download the QR app
7. Install the QR app
8. Figure out how to get the app to work.
9. Try to get the QR code focussed and in register
10. Wait for the linked web site to down load
11. Be underwhelmed by the contents of the web site.
12. Miss the bus or train that you were heading for before being distracted by the QR code
OR
Ignore them and enjoy an uninterrupted life.
