A while aback people, like you, said very similar thing when displaying your www addresses started getting popular. "I have never felt the need to type in an URL to "learn more""

I'm real fucking glad those people were ignored. I hope you are too.

A number of differences. 1) I don't recall all that many people complaining about URLs, not like people ignoring QR codes. 2) I don't actually type URLs in that frequently, I search. 3) I can see a URL and remember it to visit later. Good luck seeing a QR tag in the subway and reconstructing when you get home. 4) The kicker. Can you name a company that based their entire business model on putting URLs on posters?
