1. A method, comprising:

  • establishing a wireless connection between a first computing device and a second computing device, the first computing device displaying a first media content received from the second computing device;

    determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength that is above a first threshold and determining that the signal strength is below a second threshold, wherein the signal strength above the first threshold and below the second threshold causes the first media content to be at a degraded level such that it causes a delay in a display of the first media content to the first computing device wherein the signal strength above a first threshold and below a second threshold of the first and second computing devices is a value that indicates the connection is not lost;

    in response to the determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength that is above the first threshold and in response to the determining that the signal strength is below the second threshold, generating a first bookmark, the first bookmark referencing a location within the first media content at a point in time corresponding to the delay in the display of the first media content to the first computing device, wherein a user may view the first media content at the point in time corresponding to the delay;

    establishing a second wireless connection between a third computing device and the first computing device at a second time, the first computing device displaying a second media content, received from the third computing device;

    determining that the second wireless connection includes a second signal strength that is above the first threshold and determining that the second signal strength is below the second threshold, wherein the second signal strength above the first threshold and below the second threshold causes the second media content from the third computing device to be at a degraded level such that it causes a delay in display of the second media content to the first computing device;

    wherein the second signal strength above a first threshold and below a second threshold of the first and third computing devices is a value that indicates the connection is not lost;

    in response to determining that the second wireless connection includes the second signal strength that is above the first threshold and in response to determining that the second signal strength is below the second threshold, generating a second bookmark, the second bookmark referencing a location within the second media content at a point in time corresponding to the delay in the display of the second media content to the third computing device, wherein the user may view the second media content at the point in time corresponding to the delay;

    generating, via a Natural Language Processing (NLP) module configured to perform syntactic and semantic analysis of the user'"'"'s social media posts, a mood estimate of the user associated with the first computing device, the NLP module including a tokenizer, a part-of-speech (POS) tagger, a semantic relationship identifier, and a syntactic relationship identifier;

    determining that the mood estimate of the user is a first mood based on key words recognized by the NLP module in the user'"'"'s social media posts, the mood estimate specifying that the user has a first mood;

    determining, via the NLP module, that a subject matter of the first media content is a first subject matter and that a subject matter of the second media content is a second subject matter;

    prioritizing the first bookmark higher than the second bookmark based on the subject matter of the first media content being the first subject matter and the mood estimate specifying that the user has the first mood, wherein the prioritizing causes a recommendation that the user associated with the first computing device watch the first media content beginning at the first bookmark instead of the second media content beginning at the second bookmark; and

    displaying, based on the prioritizing of the first bookmark higher than the second bookmark, a notification, the notification includes the recommendation that the user view the first media content beginning at the first bookmark instead of the second media content at the second bookmark.
