How Barcodes Work

Barcodes In One Lesson. Barcodes have revolutionized modern life. Discover what happens every time you hear a beep at the checkout.

I was inspired to make this video based upon an explanation of barcodes I found in a great book called Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software http://amzn.to/pR9MwK . I highly recommend it.
