Insights From Lack of Knowledge & Assumptions

In an exhibition in Chitose Airport highlighting road safety - mobile phone as trigger for accident. Whilst the artists were certainly given direction what can young children teach us about how the future turns out? What do we overlook because of our in-built assumptions, domain knowledge? What leads are missed for fear of asking 'dumb' questions in front of peers?

Chitose devotes a huge amount of space to retail activities - the entrance hall is more like a supermarket in Shinjuku than an airport. Kind of similar - cinemas that are in the fast-food business and the showing-film business, and McDonalds probably makes more money from financing franchisees or property rental than selling hamburgers.
