Picture QR Codes – 1960s
Barcodes and QR codes are picture hyperlinks. They appear on products and packages. The package producer add QR codes to packages they create.

Text Hyperlinks – 1980s
Before the Internet, there were paper documents, books, and the Dewey decimal system. Back then, people used a paper card index to look up books in a library. Then came the Internet, electronic documents, text hyperlinks and the World Wide Web. Web designers and producers insert text hyperlinks into documents they created. Text hyperlinks instantly connect people to online information. We just click a text hyperlink and view information on a webpage.
