When i was little I was watching an old show in black and white and my mom told me that when she was little all shows were in black and white. This made me wonder a bit so I asked her "was everything black and white back then"? not realizing that it wasn't the objects themselves that were black and white it was because of the camera that couldn't pick up the colour
