Neat

One of the cool things possible with my employer's software is that you can use barcode scanner to insert items into the system. To me, that is just awesome. I seriously wonder how it works because there seems to be a lot of magic in between the scanner and the software. Honestly, how does it know what to do with the information it has just scanned? It's just amazing to me still that a lot of things can be done with software if you have the right people and the right know-how.
