Capturing, receiving, feedback, developing and producing new knowledge in a clear way is essential in these times. For the common of us, life haunts us with an overload of activities; and even more so with the demands of the time.

In one way or another, the formula is in the keywords: capture, understand, register, associate, connect and infer. Using this technique as a tool to create and develop strategies for reading comprehension will give us flight to apply it to Mental Literacy. Consequently, as Alvin Toffler has expressed it:
"The illiterate of the future will no longer be the one who cannot read and write, but the person who does not know how to learn to learn"
