Have you ever seen the movie Waterworld? Where all the earth is under water now and everyone has to live on the ocean? The world may not be in danger of being completely covered by water, but the possibility of living on the ocean is now a reality. New technology has allowed architects to come up with good, sustainable, environments and homes for people to live on the ocean. The homes will comprise of a spherical shape that will allow it to stay stable and afloat during calm waters, and to submerge and stay unharmed during rough seas. A province in China has actually been living on the ocean since 700 AD and as per custom to their culture were not allowed to come onto land. So it can be done. The main concern with this is the depletion of supplies. The fish supply would go down as the amount of fishing in those certain areas would rapidly increase, but scientists say that the algae these pods will create will feed fish and multiply them and these fish will feed bigger fish which will in return feed humans,
- would you ever live on the ocean in one of these secure houses?
- what would be some concerns you have?
I think it would be a new experience to live on the ocean. The only problem is the fact of being away from the rest of society. You would have to really like fish. You might be able to build a greenhouse and grow some food their, but it would be hard to have any other supplies. You would have to import a lot of different materials in order to survive in this secluded area. This could potentially cost a lot in shipping costs alone. Though a good idea, it would prove difficult to survive without the right resources.
