Double Duece

“F:F:F is open there, and she flips back and forth between posts, getting a sense of what’s been going on. Not much, aside from ongoing analysis of #135, which is normal, and discussion of this Vatican story from Brazil. Maurice, interestingly, posts to point out that both the story and the alleged papel interest seem to issue from Brazil, and that there has apparently been no independent confirmation from elsewhere” (90).

Cayce interacts directly with the forum. She is constantly checking the FFF and is an avid user. Cayce says that the forum has become like a second home, the FFF gives her the ability to interact and connect with other users, and she is able to use information from the forum in her job.

The Pew Research Center shows this in scenarios 3 & 4. They have said that technology has eliminated privacy, allows people to know where we are at all times. Users of the forum relate to this because they are addicted to the technology much like the Pew Research talks about.
“Even her relationship to the footage is changing. Margot had called the footage Cayce’s hobby, but Cayce has never been a person who had hobbies. Obsessions, yes. Worlds. Places to retreat to. “But it’s no name,” Margot had said, of the footage, “that’s why you like it. Isn’t it? Like your trademark thing.” (Pattern Recognition Page 94-95)

1) Cayce is the user of the forum.

2) Cayce is always using the footage, Margot says that it has become an obsession rather than a hobby.

3)The FFF seems like a place for Cayce to escape from her real world, as quoted from above the FFF can be compared to a “place to retreat to”.

4) This is the same as the above, the Pew Research Center talks about how addicting technology is, and the above passage shows how Cayce is obsessed with the forum.
