for my first Internet year, i believe all the ".ca" sites stands for Calif State websites.

My nephew, when he was 7, used to believe that websites were "gone" from his computer if he clicked on the Back buttom and they did not appear. I discovered this when I noticed that every night he would sit & try to think of all the websites he would need. Then he would visit all of them to "bring" them back on his computer.

I remember being scolded for not shutting the refrigerator door all of the way. Somehow I came to believe that if I didn't shut the refrigerator door all the way that it would eventually stop closing. I would test this theory out by leaving the refrigerator door slightly ajar and then quickly running in a circular path throughout the house (out one kitchen door and in another)back to the refrigerator to see if the door was any harder to shut.

I thought that the millenium bug was a real bug that would come out and eat everyone when the clock changed to 2000

When I was younger, I used to think that when you faxed a paper, the paper went through the wire to someone's fax maching. I couldn't understand how this happened so quickly because the wires could be far apart.

I used to believe you could edit a webpage in IE by highlighting and typing in the new text.

I used to believe money was directly printed inside the ATM. As in, you´d type in 50 dollars and the machine would print the exact amount and give it to you...
hey, it always made such strange sounds!

I never understood how fax machines worked until about 2 years ago. I thought that that actual paper you put into the machine was somehow sent to the other person's fax machine, and it was the actual paper that you had put into yours. I was totally perplexed until my mom explained it to me.

I used to think that when music was playing in our c.d. player the actual band was squashed unto the c.d. and would play when the c.d. got hot. I never wanted to be a musician.

I used to believe that rocket ran on gasoline and that in order to save gas, we should end the space program.

When I was 3 or 4 my parents gave me a toy microscope which projected the magnified images on the wall. The microscope had "20000x magnification" written on it. I actually believed it was true...a few years later (around 4th grade) my mum took me to buy a real scope...
I thought they were trying to cheat me, when they showed me a 100x scope, and actually said that the other one I had at home was 20000x!

I thought that inside the speaker things you order through in fast food places, there was a little midget who asked what you wanted then radioed the orders to the people at the window.

I used to believe that if you have a DNA gun, you could change anything into something else(desks to sand, people to rocks, etc.) and i told all my friends about it all the time. most of them believed me too. i was only in 2nd grade though, so noone else knew that wasnt true.

Once a friend of mine and I tried to figure out scientifically why every time we walked in front of a radio a certain way that it just made static noises. I believe we concluded that we were absorbing the radio waves.

I used to believe CAT-scans could know what you were thinking, so I tried not to think so they could get accurate results.

I used to believe that fax machines and computers sent real sheets of paper through the lines.

I use to think that if you had your picture taken you would go inside the camera and live forever in the picture. I thought this until I was about 5.

Anon

When I was about 3, I would refuse to have my picture taken because I thought cameras and taking photos hurt!!!

I used to believe that if you played a record too many times it would wear it out.

While our wireless set was just big enough for a very little man inside to do all that talking and make music too, it was just not understandable how he could get inside a thin gramophone record. I asked and all I got from my Dad was some very abstract stuff about sound waves and electricity. (ElectriCITY, as the word suggested, came from the nearest CITY and had something to do with all those smoking chimneys.) It was still not understandable to me, but it was reassuring that it was apparently understandable to my Dad.
