The only technological bet that seems to have survived lockdown-era exuberance is QR codes. They not only made it to the other side, but appear to be growing in usage and popularity at restaurants, on television, even on business cards. My 70-something in-laws know how to use them. Meta’s metaverse, on the other hand, has fallen into digital purgatory (alongside Clubhouse and crypto).

@baratunde For what it's worth, someone from Singapore. QR codes are quite effective for restaurant businesses.
in it's simplest form, the QR code directs you to a PDF file of a restaurant menu.
In some restaurants, the QR code brings you to a page where you browse the menu, select your items online, then brings you to a page to pay for your order using Googlepay or credit card. The human interaction occurs when they bring you to your seat and when they bring your order to you.
