It's a memory thing

I love this idea - at www.talesofthings.com  items are being tagged with QR codes - so if you are selling something on ebay you can tag it with a QR code -(a simple printable tag which can be read by android or iphone (you've probably seen these tags on print adverts in magazines etc) This means the buyer of your item can go to the Tales of things website and find out about the history of the item. This really is the start of the "internet of things "
