In those 20 years a generation have grown up becoming accustomed to ever increasing levels of surveillance with apparently very little worries about it. Among teenagers and young adults smartphone usage is now pretty much ubiquitous and because of it they don't use cash. Even among children of primary school age smartphones have become very common.
In the area where I live the local council has nature trail signs targeted at young children in local parks. These signs have a QR code for the kids to scan in any plant or any bird, insect or other creature of interest that they have seen. At first sight it may seem innocuous but it is just another form of grooming to accept the 'normalisation' of QR codes and scanning in general.
100% agree. I saw way too many people proudly showing off their vaxx bandaids there. I can only imagine how excited they'll be to show off their incision sites.

Oh man, that makes my heart ache to hear that. These poor kids.
On a lighter note, this is one of my favorite skits about QR codes. Hope this gives you and anyone else who encounters it a good laugh.

On the subject of Instagram, it wouldn't surprise me if the first people to get a chip implant decide to show it off there.
