Technology and advancements

The other day I was watching Discovery channel and the focus was on Dubai.

The program was how Dubai is trying to build what they say the universe by creating these man made islands, several of them like the stars in the sky. I was struck with the use of technology when they showed all these skyscrapers built in different shapes and different patters.

The architects are planning to build a sky scraper in whick each floor rotates at different velocity and completes a rotation in a day and the inhabitants can change the velocity too.I found it so amazing. The most beautiful part is the Palm Island.Dubai in order to increase its beach area is building 3 palm islands which are palm tree shaped.The islands are the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira. One ot the palms is complete and two others are still in construction. To build this island the ample resource(sand) that Dubai has is not got enough as the sand is too fine, so they had to scrape the Persian Gulf bed for the courser sand and this sand has to be pumped up and deposited to make the island.Surface area of Palm Deira is larger than that of Paris.Began development in 2003 and the construction will be completed over the next 10-15 years.

WOW artificial islands !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
