After watching the last few weeks of Lost, we see alternate timeline Desmond searching for each of the passengers on Oceanic 815.
Up to this point, he’s run into Charlie, Hugo, Ben, Locke, and Claire. However, instead of driving around Los Angeles looking for these passengers, he could just use an IVR system to track all of them down.
Imagine how much easier life would be if he set up an outbound IVR call to dial each of the passengers on that flight (although it would be difficult to get that passenger list…but he works for Charles Widmore now!). He can even use the IVR outbound system to see which of his calls were successful and which of his calls had failed.
For the calls that were successful, then great, he doesn’t have to go talk to these passengers. For the call that were unsuccessful, he could then go and do his creepy thing of following the passengers around.
Just another thought about Lost and IVR as we wind down to the end of the series.
