Nevertheless, intermittent internet connection has been consistently experienced by the students which undoubtedly made their research very inconvenient.

uhm based on what I understood, this is an automated way of saving pages from a site? what I mean is, instead of using the file menu on the browser for saving the page, the software will be doing all that, right?

Does this include all the contents found on the site that will be saved? Like the images,etc.. since if it will only be the page itslef that will be saved, there might be some data and informations that will not be accessed.

This software would really be a great help for users who have a limited internet connection especially to those prepaid internet users, and to those users who don’t have internet connection at home. Base on my own experience, as a prepaid internet subscriber, I wanted to maximize the use of my limited internet connection time. When I am searching for articles especially for assignment references, before reading them, I usually save the page of that article and its contents first. After that, to still have a copy of the links of the pages that I have copied, I usually copy the links and paste it to notepad. This process of course, for me, is really time consuming.

Below are the benefits users can get from this Offline Bookmarking:

1. Quick Saving of pages and its contents
Users don’t have to copy and paste the page, its content and the links since the software will do it for them.
2. Hassle Free
Accessed pages and its contents are automatically saved.
3. Maximize Use of Limited Internet Connection
Since the software automatically saves every accessed page, this will allow users to have more time searching for articles on the web. The time supposedly spent for copying and pasting the pages, it contents and links will now be spent efficiently for searching for other references.
4. Easy Access of Pages
Pages can be accessed easily without internet connection after it has been accessed once since it has already been saved.
5. Minimize Power Consumption
Every accessed page requires power (both from data center and clients)
6. Minimize Internet Dependency
The software, portable offline bookmarking, does not totally dependent to data center once it was being accessed and stored to the software
