## The Invisible Mechanics of Everyday Tech
* Exploring the core mechanics of data encoding, transmission, and verification in modern infrastructure.

## How QR Codes Store Data
* Structure: 2D matrix with 'finder patterns' for orientation.
* Data: Contains binary info for URLs or payment tokens.
* Redundancy: Error correction allows reading even if partially damaged.

## The QR Payment Transaction Flow
1. Scanning: Camera decodes binary matrix to merchant ID.
2. Tokenization: App sends ID and encrypted token to cloud.
3. Verification: Processor checks funds and authenticates via biometrics.
4. Settlement: Digital transfer and instant confirmation.

## Face ID: 3D Depth Mapping
* Projects 30,000 invisible infrared dots to map facial geometry.
* Prevents 2D photo spoofing by analyzing depth distortion.

## GPS: Trilateration in Space
* Receivers calculate distance from at least four satellites by measuring signal time delays.
* Pinpoints latitude, longitude, and altitude using intersecting spheres of distance.

## Rise of Connected IoT Devices
* Growth trend: 8.6 billion devices in 2019 to over 15.1 billion in 2023.

## Solar Panels: Photovoltaic Conversion
* Process: Photons hit silicon → Electrons knocked loose → Direct Current (DC) created → Inverter converts to Alternating Current (AC).
