A content confusion and contextual supplemental information (CCCSI) system that provides clarifying supplemental information to a user who has become confused about a currently presenting media content event, the CCCSI system comprising:

• a communication system interface that communicatively couples the CCCSI system to a plurality of media devices and a plurality of remote information source devices,
• wherein each media device presents a streaming media content event to a user, and
• wherein the communication system interface receives from at least one of the media devices information pertaining to the user during a current presentation of the media content event to the user;
• and
• a processor system that is communicatively coupled to the communication system interface, wherein the processor system is configured to:
• determine that there is an occurrence or an onset of user confusion based on the received information pertaining to the user;
• determine a time of the occurrence or the onset of the user's confusion based on the determination of the occurrence or the onset of the user's confusion;
• associate a presentation time of a portion of the currently presenting media content event that corresponds to the determined time of the occurrence or the onset of the user's confusion;
• identify a part of the portion of the currently presenting media content event that has caused the occurrence or the onset of the user's confusion;
• and
• communicate a request for clarifying supplemental information to at least one of the remote information source devices based on the identified part of the portion of the currently presenting media content event that has caused the occurrence or the onset of the user's confusion,
• wherein the CCCSI system receives the clarifying supplemental information from the at least one remote information source device that responds to the request for the clarifying supplemental information, and
• wherein the clarifying supplemental information includes an amount of clarifying information intended to clarify or resolve the user's confusion in response to presentation of the clarifying supplemental information,
• wherein the clarifying supplemental information is communicated from the CCCSI system to the media device for presentation to the user.
