Ever since the Titanic sank into the Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg in 1912, people dreamed of exploring- and even salvaging- the ship's wreck. Since 1985 there have been several expeditions to the ship's wreck, but there hasn't been any progress in salvaging it. What's more, the ship's steel rust is wearing away that most of it will be gone in about 100 or so years. So that's why I'm asking the following questions:
1.) Will we ever raise the Titanic from the Atlantic Ocean?
2.) What kinds of technology would we use to raise the Titanic's wreck?
3.) What kinds of purposes should we use once we salvaged the Titanic?
4.) When is this shipwreck salvaging possible?

No, it is impossible. Quite apart from the great depth and technological problems, the Titanic is rapidly rusting away and is already so far gone it could not be raised if it were in the same condition at a much shallower depth. It is also a grave, and there would be moral questions raised about the massive disturbance of the wreck.

No. It won't be raised. There's talk that evolution has reared its ugly head and a species of mollusks have adhered themselves to Titanic's hull with the ability to eat and digest metal. So, the hull may disappear completely within 50 years or so.

Yes it will be raised .as it will cost to nearly few zillions and it's an object of historical importance.The only thing we lack is technological innovation but in today's world it's not a tough matter to raise a wrecked ship
Only thing necessary is to keep on trying

They can't raise the Titanic off floor because it would break into pieces

It's too unstable to bring up. Salvaged items are already on display in a travelling museum exhibit, currently at the Science Museum in Phoenix.

No it will never be fully raised the guy who has the exploration rights says that it would be wrong because it is a final resting place of all that died....

no we won't (it's in pieces and is rusting away) and if we could, we shouldn't.
