History
Historically, the Uncanny Valley Authority only handled such objects as puppets, dolls and automatons. More recently the UVA has been forced to expand its original charter to handle the growing number of computers, computer animations, and almost life-like robots. Each time a computer user invests belief that a system is alive, another computer crosses into the Valley. This problem is a growing concern, as the population of computers and animations has swelled at an alarming rate, with more arriving daily. UVA workers, prone to the conditions of the Valley, have found themselves overwhelmed by the volume of systems needing assistance. The result of this is more systems caught for longer periods of time within the Valley, with a growing number becoming permanent residents.
