modifying the information stored on the cache using the updated information;
detecting a request for current information associated with the device;
determining whether an amount of computing resources available for the computing device satisfies a resource threshold;
determining whether updates exist for the information stored on the cache when the resource threshold is satisfied;
retrieving the current information from the information stored on the cache, wherein the retrieved current information is a latest version of the updated information stored on the cache;
transmitting the retrieved current information to the network, wherein when the current information is received, the current information is displayed on a display associated with the device; and
receiving, at the display, a user input associated with the current information.
