The barcode, which completely revolutionized how we shop, work and live, turns 50 this summer.
What it didn't do: Herald the end times, as conspiracy theorists once fretted.
What it did do: Usher in a new age of global commerce.

And fast forward to today, when more than 10 billion product barcodes are scanned every day (not to mention their descendant, the QR code)
