Is Our Future Several Feet Under? (Part 1)

Let’s face it - life began under water. That automatically makes one suppose that life is more easily sustainable beneath water. While people would naturally be uneasy about it, there are actually plans and designs - even construction - going on, for underwater habitats.

So what are underwater habitats? These are structures completely or partially beneath the water level in which people can live for extended periods, maybe all their lives, and carry out most of the basic day-to-day activities, such as working, resting, eating, visiting the toilet, and sleeping. All while surrounded by marine environment.

Many underwater habitats have been designed, built and used around the world since the early 1960s. Mostly always they were used as research centers, or exploration base, but most of these lacked regenerative systems for air, water, food, electricity, and other resources. However, recently some new underwater habitats allow for these resources to be delivered using pipes, or generated within the habitat, rather than manually delivered. Well, some are actually built for tourism and recreation!

Introduction

Dear all,


This is to be my first post in this blog, the Spinning Planet which is all about new things... future technology, renewable energy, future living, latest one-of-a-kind gadgets, environment modification, greens, marine living etc. -- you name it. I look forward to make this the best information zone about these subjects.
