Fans focus more of their time and resources intently on a specific area of interest then a non-fan would, and are not significantly concerned if non-fans (including family or friends) don't derive pleasure from the area of interest.
Fans usually have a strong enough interest that small to major changes in their lifestyles are made to accommodate devotion to the focal object.
The West's earliest fan is a flabellum (or ceremonial fan) and it dates to the 6th century.
Ceiling fan controls usually are one for speed (slow, medium, and fast), one for the light (on and off), and one for directional control of the fan blades (clockwise and counterclockwise).
A fan is also a small vane or sail that is used to keep the large sail of a smock windmill always in the direction of the wind.
