Abstract

The storing and retrieval of personal and work-related information from large capacity storage devices has become tedious and haphazard especially for individuals that are not technologically or computer literate. There must be a better a way to help people remember where information has been stored, implicate its temporal importance and manage daily tasks. This paper discusses a study currently investigating personal information management and archiving, with an objective of designing software tools to assist the process.
