Doesnt it help the system work faster and more efficiently?
Helps stockists reorder on time and suppliers to gear their production etc

And thats just one example.

But these bar codes, they're everywhere, on everything.

Bar codes have been about for a good number of years.

It is just that they have actually been used for their proper purpose over recent years.

Used properly, and you, yourself remaining vigilant, they are to your advantage.

Bars codes been around a while. Will the next generation of kids have a bar code on their fore heads?

Do you think the bar code is a good thing or an insidious way of keeping track?
