C4T Post #1

The teacher I am assigned to is David Hopkins. I read quite a few of his posts and really enjoyed reading them.
The first blog post I commented on is called QR Code Trend Infographic. In the post, Mr. Hopkins discusses the numerous QR codes for smart phones that are popping up everywhere. He also speculates that companies have to offer consumers something in return for scanning the QR code. I agree with Mr. Hopkins in that consumers are not going to take their time to scan the QR code unless they will get something out of it such as discounts and coupons. Mr. Hopkins gave an example of a Calvin Klein billboard that apparently had a picture that was too racy to show the public. Therefore, consumers had to scan the QR code to see the picture. I like this example because it is not offering a discount, but instead offering a chance to view something that the average consumer cannot see with out scanning the QR code.
The second blog post I commented on is called 'Noir' Photography App. In this post, Mr. Hopkins discusses a new app that allows you to edit your photos. You can enhance the colors or change them altogether. The only draw back to the app is that it will not allow you to upload the edited photo to social networks. Hopefully they will eventually change it and allow the photos to be uploaded.
