Ivy/The Archive and digital information

(1/5) > >>

Magnus:
In the latest Q&A I saw. Someone asked Jim Butcher if Ivy was receiving digital information as well.
The answer was that yes she is and that she wasn't built for it.
Also that we will see the repercussions of it.

So what do you think will happen with Ivy/The Archive due to this?

DonBugen:
Ivy is, what, sixteen now? An adolescent. And adolescents already have enough going on with hormones and teen problems. It's literally one of the most emotionally trying parts of a person's life.

Add to that, we don't know for sure yet if she knows that Harry asked Kincaid to kill him after Ivy wasn't able to help him rescue his daughter. More area for irrational self-hate.

Saying "she wasn't built for it" means that she's trying to handle something which no previous archive ever had to, in an emotionally vulnerable state, when the two people she loves and cares for most have literally made the last few years a nightmare.

Poor kid.

It's enough to drive anyone a little insane.

wardenferry419:
Well, if the internet influences her behavior; then, Ivy will become an overly-sensitive, paranoid anarchistic with kinky sex tendencies.

Mira:


 
   Fake news, conspiracy theories, any crack pot can write a blog, these are problems for ordinary mortals that get their information from one source or with one that they agree with.   I can see no problem for the Archive, but for very human Ivy....

forumghost:
It's something that's been mentioned before (Seriously, why does everyone at these cons ask the same 5 questions?) but IIRC she's having to deal with so much more information then The Archive was ever intended to handle thanks to the Internet.

This could lead to any number of things; On the more physical side, she could wind up finding she can't process the sheer amount of Data anymore (like a Computer without enough HDD Space) On the emotional/mental side, she could wind up not being able to cope with, as Jim put it "Sooo Muuuch Pooorn". On the bizarre side, she could end up like that Twitter bot Microsoft put out that became a Nazi, or maybe catch a Virus (from all that porn) and wind up Quacking Like a Duck until Kincaid can figure out how to upload BitDefender into a Human Brain.
