here is two possibilities that I can see(this is inspired by sci fi, that much I admit). One is a cloud city(akin to coruscant in Star Wars). We have had plenty of experience building upwards and having a city in the skies(with our very own flying cars to transport us around) is viable.

I see another option?? underground.. which mean under the surface of ocean... yes... when everything is submerge in water, and we might still live underground..........

again... no matter where we go, the question of resources...

1) O2
2) sunlight?

or can be like microbs.... harvesting energy through chemical reaction instead of sun hmm.gif

as sunlight is considered to be a source which is almost unlimited.... while alternate source is a souce what we need to generate.....

Though, I am concerned about the reactions towards lack of sunlight. I for one dislike being cooped up for so long with no exposure to the sun. Now how would we combat said problem given that we were to build underground/underwater living quarters.

yes.. this is the problem that I think og.. the side effect of total dependent on artificial habitat.. artificial light etc...

what would you feel if you live in city and the only source is from ceiling light, wind from fan, air from ventilation? instead of FRESH AIR? naturally?

I think every city folks would need that.... after hours of work in office...

for example, from my experience.. recently, after wholeday facing PC, and I feel bit "sick" as in had enough of it and nausea and need some fresh air... so I went outswide my hosue for fresh air.. then I observe the trees and then look at my house... there I realise this.. the tree, flower etc... makes me feel alive.. while looking at my house.. even its nicely decorated and with colourful paints, it is dead

that is this called medically? any doc?

Try sitting in the dark for a week and see how you react to sunlight after said week.
