@TheFrugalGamer Nasa Agency specially in Apollo Program The UPC Scanner that you and me and all people see here began Exactly in its shape and Model and Idea in late 1980's 1990's till Now ... Early 1980's Existed also but tend to be slight large and Narrow spread but u can see them in Grand malls in most of Advanced countries

@TheFrugalGamer Slightly difference between 1980's model 1980's just tend to be larger and less round lines in it ( but Not Squared only just larger and less round lines on its body ) In 1970's These UPC Scanners was Larger Devices heavy uses in most Grand Famous Malls in Many of Advanced Countries and also used in Research and Development Labs Specially in 1960's ... 1960's Model tend to be larger and larger heavy and heavier used also in Grand Malls and Labs and used by NASA Agency

@TheFrugalGamer Advanced countries like Germany , England , united states , and Japan ...Etc and it was used in grand Malls not in small shops u can see this device in most shops now a days No in Early 1980's these Small Known model of UPC Scanners used in Grand Malls in Advanced countries and it has models For Ex 1980's Model tend to be larger compared to 1990's and 2000's Model So the UPC Bar Code Scanners that u see now days Exactly the same shape and Idea with 1990's Model and Slightly

@TheFrugalGamer Very Good What about UPC Scanners that we see in most shops now a days ? Ok I Will Tell First of all you have to know that Technology instruments began bigger and enormous then it shrink or become smaller by the days but the Idea of Technology it self existed from long long times. Yes about UPC scanners these devices that any one can hold it with his hand and scan the barcode with the first begin of this familiar shape and model go back to early 1980's in Most Advanced

@gorsian1979 Sorry, it could just be stock footage. 

[TheFrugalGamer]

@gorsian1979 Barcodes were for sure used BEFORE 1974 but not UNTIL 1974 did they begin to use the UPC scanners that we see here.

[gorsian1979]

@TheFrugalGamer other wise their cloth model seems to be 1960's and Early 1970's  It isn't make any sence that if we believe that this cloth model continued till 1980

[gorsian1979]

@TheFrugalGamer No I think That Real History of recording bar codes is in 1960's Look at real Magazines that Issued in United states in 1960's I have a magazine called Tantan issued in 1969 in Egypt of course translated to Arabic I read this in it Also apply this on cars I have a real magazine called EL NASR For Cars issued in 24 - 1 -1990 told that 1990's cars characteristics that most of 1990's cars have Rounded roof compact body like exactly cars that we see today

@gorsian1979 Barcodes began to be used in 1974...the first recorded scanning was on a pack of chewing gum in 1974. From this video we see that barcodes have been fully implemented on all products, so I think 1980 is pretty accurate.

In Additional of that we have to know that some tracks (parts) in this video has taken between 1966 - 1969 also model 1960's in their clothes seems clearly and also room decorations
