[ffwlukvi] QR everything

Aggressively annotate all text printed on physical media with a QR code transcription.  The general idea is to lessen the need and improve upon the accuracy of OCR.  Text printed in a situation in which computer cut-and-paste is available does not need QR.

All signs, text on paper.

For example, you are presented with a menu at a restaurant, but it is entirely in Chinese, but you don't read Chinese.  However, each menu item is transcribed in Unicode as a QR code, from which you can easily invoke your favorite translation tools.
