Forget the fact that you had your road test 60 years ago when pavement and traffic lights hadn't been invented. Throw that all out the window. The DMV doesn't test your driving knowledge because it assumes you have kept up to date with current events enough to have heard of any rule changes. Take the nation's abysmally low ranking on geography tests. People can't even identify the United States on a globe.
Airplanes are another curious form of travel.
On the surface, planes are a seemingly amazing technology worthy of the sincerest form of respect. Airplanes are nothing but giant catapults that literally launch people into the air and use computers to find their way down in the right spot, ideally without hitting anything along the way. With hyper space, there will be no more worrying about having to fly in small propeller planes that get you sick. There'll be no more bags of peanuts, safety videos or lost luggage. Airplanes will be laughable.
