Abstract
A processing device and method are provided for visualizing changes to dynamic content. Dynamic content may be obtained from a content source and a state of the content may be saved. The saved state of the content may be compared with a previously saved state of the content to produce difference data, indicating differences between the saved state of the content and the previously saved state of the content. The obtained content may be presented to a user and may include visual indications pointing out added portions of the content, deleted portions of the content, and/or unchanged portions of the content. In some embodiments, a scheduler may be configured to obtain content and save a state of the content at particular times or upon occurrences of particular events. In various embodiments, aged states of the content may be degraded.
