Someone doesnt know what fake QR codes are, or the huge privacy risk associated with scanning random things out in the world.
Pretty sure grandma wont have a phone to scan the QR code, so in reality itll be what ever money someone of your intelligence has.
Enjoy scanning random things from your ivory tower :). Maybe one day you'll understand not everyone is as smart and privileged as you.
Well considering 3rd world country doesnt mean what you think, I'm absolutely sure it's possible.
@[email protected] I can going have to ask you to please engage in a more respectful manner.
There was no question? But I'm glad your grandma has a phone. It must feel very good inside to have such privilege in this day and age! It's really not that hard to understand not everyone can use a QR code. ADA laws exist for a reason. I'd totally understand if you're just a 15 year old who's trying to feel superior, but you're being very ignorant to the less fortunate. Everyone would love to be able to experience all there is to life, and to gatekeep it behind a QR code is rather nonsensical.
You fail to see the point, and once again that's okay. When technology outpaces you, you'll come to understand what this conversation means. Take care, and try to make the world a better more accessible place if you have the capacity to do so :).
I am by no means a part of lemmy.world, if you bothered to look at my account I do not have my account based there. I also fail to see how it is relevant what so ever to our conversation? Every body gets old. New and wonderful things are constantly sprouting around us, nihilism will get you nowhere, and honestly will be a detriment to you as well... Especially as you get older and come to find yourself on the very end you're fighting against: being able to understand how QR codes work, or what ever the newest and "greatest" invention may be.
You can absolutely hope and pray you'll adjust, but not everyone is capable of doing so. Do you not remember, or are you not old enough to know how difficult it was to get grandma to use a texting app? All I'm trying to help you understand is that not everyone is capable of learning how to use these things. Whether it be age, disability, or any number of things.
Physical maps exist. Other people exist to ask for directions. Cash exists. How do you think people functioned before smartphones were a thing? Jeez dude, it's like you think that just because it's 2023, the ways of doing things before smartphones are suddenly not an option because of them. Again, not everybody has access to cellphones or wants to use them just to read a friggin menu.
But plenty of ACTUAL people don't for whatever reason. Furthermore, plenty of people (myself included) find it ridiculous to have to take out my phone to read the menu. Why you act like the world should bend and conform to your personal wishes and experience is beyond me
