Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.

So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people.

Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.

So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project.

And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015.

My name is woof. You think that we have a great life，right？Wrong！I am going to tell you why.

   First of all，we are bored. Bored. bored. And bored. Do you ever think about what a dog does all day？ Nothing. Nothing at all. Our owners are busy，you know，working，going to school，away from home all day. So what are we supposed to do？Watch the house or apartment？Sure. That is like watching paint dry or grass grow. Boring. That’s why we get so excited when our owners come home. We bark and run around and act as if we are very happy. But we only do this because we are bored all day. If we are lucky，our owner take us for a walk.

   Then there is the food. We eat the same food，meal after meal，day after day，week after week，month after month. Help！Would you like  to eat the same thing all the time？No，you would not. So what makes you think we dogs like it？We don’t. We hate it.

Another thing-television. Another thing-television. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid programs，hour after hour，night after night. Are there any programs for dogs on television？No. Not a single one.

So what can we do？What else can we do but sleep？And so we sleep. We dogs are not lazy，we are bored.
