And they can be build on the ocean. So people will move to the ocean to live and to the moon for vacation around 2040, I think.

If you're getting too much glare on your TV, it might be convenient to make your whole apartment / flat rotate so that the room you're in won't get any sunlight shining in on it, thus no glare. Same goes for if you're sleeping and the sunlight wakes you up.   doesnt seem worth the cost. At least not to the common person. If these buildings are ever built, only the more wealthy would be able to afford such places. The lower classes will always remain in the shitty apartments which are completely stationary. wow that is like the ultimate of lazy lol... but thats what we are i guess. cant you just get blinds lol...

They actually are already standing. There are some in the sea near Japan, some in Dubai and in some of those Asian countries.

There's elevator shafts in the center. I wouldn't mind living in one of those. Think about it, you can turn the entire place to maximise your view and see whatever you feel like outside. Latin Muscle Posted at 3:16 am on July 7, 2008 We shall see within  60 years. Luckily my ancestry shows we live really long( 85- 100 years old), so i can't  wait to be alive and see dramatic changes in our world. flanders5t6 Posted at 3:16 am on July 7, 2008 cool i wouldnt really wanna live on one though.... how would you get to work? iinsurgent Posted at 3:15 am on July 7, 2008 Makes me think of that one flash sceen in Donnie Darko.
