As we fastly approach the 2012 election, we are beginning to be bombarded with campaign promises. We know that President Obama was the first to use social media effectively to get elected in 2008. We know that technology has advanced since 2008. We have been told that unless you ride the wave of technology, you are doomed to being left behind. With that said the new hot technology is QR codes. They are black and white squares that hold information about the item that it is affixed to. Some codes may have written information about the product and other codes may have videos. There has been a ground swell about whether it will be used during this election cycle. If a candidate is technologically savvy enough, s/he will be able to get his or her message to the masses through smartphones and tablets, by using QR codes. S/he could attach the QR codes to leaflets and signs. This technology would be cost effective and allow some of the smaller funded candidates to effectively compete with more well funded candidates. Campaigns will never be the same. Hurry, Hurry all candidates that are willing to take a chance on a new ride, come ride the QR Code Wave to election night success!! QR Code + Elections = New Market Disruptor.
