I was at my in-law place when my mother reminded him to buy a tank gas for cooking. He replied and told me that it would be great if the user could know how much gas were left in their tank.
I think it is a great idea. I always store a additional tank because we often ran out of gas unexpectedly. Having the indication would at least allow us to know when it is time to get a new one.
but then, this does not solve the problem of storing additional tank right? So, I have another idea. Petronas or Shell should have a tank that indicates two part-the one that belongs to the user (hey, it’s time to change your tank) and additional part that allows user to use it as spare. This spare will be charged accordingly to the usage.
Hmm..if this is the case might as well all the tanks in the future be charged accordingly to the usage. I wonder if they would buy my idea…

A discussion board has become an essential tool in many Learning Management Systems because of its potential to allow
the construction of knowledge through active participation from the students. Unfortunately for the past few years when
online discussion was implemented by the authors, it has received unsatisfactory number of quality responses from the
students. The purpose of this paper is to identify the reasons why some students participated actively while some students
become lurkers in the learning environment. The authors sought to investigate the reasons that has encouraged or inhibited
the students from participating in the online discussion through results revealed in previous studies and also findings
acquired from three case studies that were carried out in a private higher learning institution in Malaysia.
