New Technology? Yes, in 1994


The Maven calls "bullshit" on this story.



Fact, the QR code was released to commercial use in 1994 by Denso Wave, a subsidiary of the Denso Corporation. It's NOT new technology.

Fact, other political campaigns have used QR codes on their direct mail advertising, including campaigns by candidates in Fort Wayne as far back as 2007. This is nothing new. 

Fact, the media has an investment in Tom Henry winning a third term and want to protect that investment in the status quo.

Fact, Henry's opponent has been critical of the current administration's efforts to redevelop downtown, reportedly at the expense of the safety of citizens in other neighborhoods in town. 

Fact, this story has nothing to do with "new" technology in a political campaign but has everything to do with distracting would-be voters away from the four people murdered in the last few days.

  2. Fact: What the hell is the Henry for Campaign campaign? Look at the copy a bit closer. They tripped over their agenda.
