QR BACKSTORY: QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding mode(numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used. The QR code system became popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)

HASHTAG BACKSTORY: A hashtag is a type of label or metadata tag used on social network and microblogging services which makes it easier for users to find messages with a specific theme or content. Users create and use hashtags by placing the hash character # (also known as the number sign or pound sign) in front of a word or unspaced phrase, either in the main text of a message or at the end. Searching for that hashtag will yield each message that has been tagged with it. A hashtag archive is consequently collected into a single stream under the same hashtag. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
ATMARK BACKSTORY: A common contemporary use of @ is in email addresses (using the SMTP system), as in jdoe@example.com (the user jdoe located at site the example.com domain). BBN Technologies‘ Ray Tomlinson is credited with introducing this usage in 1971.
On some online forums without threaded discussions, @ is used to denote a reply; for instance: “@Jane” to respond to a comment Jane made earlier. Similarly, in some cases, @ is used for “attention” in email messages originally sent to someone else. For example, if an email was sent from Catherine to Steve, but in the body of the email, Catherine wants to make Keirsten aware of something, Catherine will start the line “@Keirsten” to indicate to Keirsten that the following sentence concerns her. This also helps with mobile email users who cannot see bold or color in email.
In microblogging (such as Twitter and GNU social-based microblogs), @ before the user name is used to send publicly readable replies (e.g. “@otheruser: Message text here”). The blog and client software can automatically interpret these as links to the user in question. When included as part of a person’s or company’s contact details, an @ symbol followed by a name is normally understood to refer to a Twitter ID. A similar use of the @ symbol was also made available to Facebook users on September 15, 2009. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
