The invention anticipates the interests of the user and accordingly generates updated data. Updates are accurately inferred from the user's offline browsing pattern on a local CD or other digital media, and from online browsing of sites on the Internet. When the user is offline, a profiling program at the user's location tracks the CD or other digital media files accessed by the user, and stores this information in an addressable file of the user's computer. Correspondingly, when online, the user's server tracks and profiles the content of the web sites visited by the user. In both cases, the resultant profiles are available at the user's server, and by determination of the basic content that characterizes the accumulated data, the server derives a statistically based pattern of the user's current interest. The server retrieves relevant information based on this pattern, and accordingly updates the media.
