Technology Brings Digital Memories To Grave Sites : NPR
A story from NPR about a unique new use for QR codes (those little square barcodes) to reveal stories and information about the dead.
On a side note about QR codes: I’ve started to see these things popping up in all kinds of places like for sale signs on houses and even now at museums. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago used QR codes in a recent exhibition to provide visitors with audio commentaries and alternate views of works.
