Reading Summary

Reading the articles, I found it interesting that people are so fascinated with airports and airplanes, but only for a short while. For most people, it is an unknown, until they need to fly somewhere, then they realize the hassle that comes with flying. Interestingly enough, movies rarely show these hassles, usually only showing people running through the airport or sitting around waiting, but rarely the irritation that comes with the other aspects of airports. People are enthralled with the view out the windows during take off and landing, but in between they lose interest, they cannot make sense of the ground below them, they are not part of it so they don't want to acknowledge it. So why else do people stop thinking that airports and airplanes are amazing? How can we keep this fascination alive long into the experience of flying?
