Scenario : "A farmer, Alic Pang, used to farm corn without any computer technology. However, this year he decided to take modern technology so he bought a computer and used it to model the ideal farming. To simulate, he put last year's data. For example, the number of seed he plant, the place where the plant, general weather of the place over a year. Now he expect to harvest a lot more corn compare to last year."
