But then what do you do with the all the fantasies and hype about the new technology (like planes that land in your backyard and you fly them to work)?
And it's quite possible and fairly common that the new technology actually ends up being mostly hype, and there's actually no "airports" use case in the wings. I mean, how much did society "bend to the abilities of" NFTs?
And then what if the mature "airports" use case is actually something most people do not want?
