A childhood belief about technology
others believed things like this
- i used to think that the word e-mail was a sex, like male, female and e-mail.
I'm so thick!— Confoozed - I thought when i was a kid, that all mailboxes had tubes that brought your mail to the person u sent it to.— Andrew
- When my sister told one of my brothers her e-mail address, he thought to spell out “at” instead of typing “@”.— EJ - no longer computer illiterate!

- I thought the world was black and white because of all the smoke from the bombs in Second World War.— Bjoern
- Until a few years ago, I believed this was a "doggy dog" world, rather than a "dog-eat-dog" world.— jemima
