CONTENTS RECALL ECONOMIZING YOUR TIME WHILE RESEARCHING
Time Sensitivity
Concept Web System Design The Book Mark web browser application that already exists is not an efficient research tool. Instead of recalling specific information within a web page, it recalls the page as a whole. My application, Contents Recall, is more time efficient because it pulls up only a specific highlighted portion.

Arlum: What is the purpose of high-lighting? Jeseok: To remember what I am reading. Arlum: Do you have any problems in your reading process on the web? Jeseok: No, if I can remember all my high-lighted content on the web. I read the same article repeatedly. Arlum: I feel the same, when I look for multiple resources for writing an essay.
