As a young child, I knew things on TV were in black and white and therefore "not real". I could never understand what my dad found so facinating about "the news"- it was just a person sitting there talking!
Many friends had color TV's, but it was still fake, they were just special. It was color films at school and daycare that confused me most. It was on TV so it MUST be fake, but it was at school, so it must be real.... what a conundrum.
