Identity Theft
It all started off with this woman named Nancy Trejos. She often used her debit card to purchase things rather than her credit card to stay debt free. But this isn't always the best option to keep your bank account safe. Also, when using a debit card, you can't reimburse all the money that was stolen, while you could if it was with a credit card. Id theft can be such a problem because it puts a lot of hard working people into debt and its really hard to stop. I think Id theft is one of the most hard types of theft to stop because the person could be half way across the country or the world. Some things a criminal would need to steal to figure out your personal information would be credit and debit cards, bank information, social security number, and many other things. When you are using credit and debit cards, just be sure you are somewhere secure where your information can't be stolen easily, and don't give it to anyone suspicious. When an Id is stolen, I think both people are at fault, the id holder because he/she is not being careful, and the stealer because it is wrong to commit a criminal act. So if you are ever out buying something, always take caution with your information!

Qr Codes- In more detail
- Qr codes are similiar to bar codes, except qr codes are in the form of a randomized image rather then randomized numbers .
- Product sellers often use qr codes to list special offers on their products or to give a secret message about something.
- Qr codes started off in Japan and eventually came to be used by U.S bussiness.
- Invented by the company Denso Wave.
- Qr codes help the small bussiness becuase they don't have to put all the print on a product when they can just use these little images that can be decoded for information that was printed into this generated code.
- This could save companies a lot of money by saving all the ink that would be used instead of these randomized images.
