When I was a child I used to believe that all the people on TV were actually tiny people who lived inside the TV set, i was always looking through the little slits in the back trying to see those miniture people who lived inside, i also used to think that if i tried to insert tiny pieces of paper into the back that they would magically apear on the screen falling onto those people.

At the end of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade I thought that Harrison Ford and Sean Connery really got immortality because they drank off the ("real") holy grail. That made me jealous of them that they were so priviledged to be in a movie that makes them immortal. In a way of course - I was right.

When I was younger, I always thought that everything you saw on TV was made on a closed set. Even if it was outside, I thought it was a set. I remember thinking they made the trees look pretty real, wondering how they did it.
I used to believe that when an actor or actress was shot or stabbed in a movie, they were really hurt...I couldn't imagine why any actor would sacrifice themselves so much for a silly TV program!

When I was about 7 my family and I went to a theme park that was dedicated to movies. When we were walking out I noticed a topiary that had a sign that said "Edward Scissorhands was here". Until I was 10 I thought that he was a spy and that Scissorhands was his codename.

I asked my Dad how radios worked. He answered by batteries. I could not understand how they got all that news and music into the batteries ahead of time.

When I was little, I used to watch a show called "Square One", a scetch show teaching about math. One of the segments was a Pacman parody called "Math Man", where this little guy consisting of a football helmet and legs would have to gobble up numbers that fit into a certain equasion or something, and if he got it wrong, he'd be eaten by this tornado-thing with eyes and a mouth called The Glitch. I used to think the Glitch was real, and was out there waiting to eat me because I wasn't good at math.

Back when Marvel comics first started publishing Spiderman (a month or so after The Fantastic Four) I believed that the superheroes really lived in New York. I dreamed about travelling to New York to see Spidey and talk to Ben Grimm.

When I was little my mom listened to the radio and I thought that some guy had a radio and spoke into the radio and the sound would come out of the other radios. So, when I was little I spoke into the radio and thought people around the world heard me and that I was then famous.

My dad watched a lot of Star Trek when my little sister was young. She used to do the Vulcan hand salute and say "Live long in Frostburg!" - Frostburg being the small town where our grandparents lived. It was so cute that no one had the heart to correct her, so it wasn't until she was in her teens that she figured out it was supposed to be "Live long and prosper". She's still a little annoyed at that one!
I used to believe that if a movie showed a character as a kid, and then showed them older, that they had had to wait for the actor to grow up in order to film the rest of the movie. So basically, I thought a lot of movies took 10 or 12 (or 20) years to make.

For many years, I believed that all television shows (except cartoons) were performed live in real-time. I also harbored a belief that the people on the television could see you through the screen, but didn't react (because they were professional actors, after all).

When I was a little girl I thought that there were tiny people in car radios who were doing all the singing and talking...although I know this isn't true, now that I'm almost 50 years old, I still like to pretend those little people are in there doing their thing!
