media

I used to believe that cinema movies were filmed live behind the screen and all the time I went to see behind the screen to check if it had the set at the back and I could see the actors and actresses.

When I was 6 years I used to believe Freddy Krueger was real.

When I was a child I used to believe that inside the radio there were little people singing or talking, and in fact once I dismantled an entire apparatus in search of the little people who spoke.

When I was 10 years old I really like to watch television, sometimes I stayed very late at night watching it but once they caught my attention that I no longer saw why it was bad for my eyes but I did not, my mother got angry and told me that when I sleep I would take a demon for watching a lot of television

When I was in school, I used to believe that cowboys were in the radio stations. Radio stations used to present some cowboys series.

When I was about 5, I saw a Daisy sour cream commercial saying something like “four generations of the family will enjoy this”. Because I saw four people at the table, I was convinced that “generations” meant “members”. I learned otherwise when I said there would be four generations eating when it was really just me, my brother, and my parents.

When I was a child, my mother said that I did not have to watch a lot of television, so she believed that if I watched a lot of television I would go blind, so when I watched a lot of television and my eyes felt tired, I was scared because I thought I would go blind.

When i was a child i used to think that all the news that was broadcast on television was acted as if it were any movie or some other entertainment program for adults such as robberies, assassinations, suicides, voting to elect a president, absolutely everything.

When I was a child I used to believe when I listened to the radio that inside it were the people who were speaking and singing. I used to think this way until I was four years old when I began to realize that I was wrong, which is why every time I remember I laugh.

When I was a child I believed that on television there were people inside it, I had asked my mother and she said that they are small people who get into the telvision and live inside the telvision, I stopped believing in that at about 12 years old jaja

When I was 6 years old, I used to think that the cartoons were real life character that had crazy adventures and they were immortals because even if they died, they could be alive in the next episode and I thought how funny could be go there with them

Two beliefs, both involving banner ads.

When I was eight, I saw ads for the then-new streaming service Now TV. The ads said "Now Showing" above an image of a movie. I took this to mean that you could ONLY watch the movie shown and literally nothing else on there, and it got replaced with a different movie once a week or so.

Around the same time, I saw an ad with a photo of a little girl and a tagline that was something along the lines of "Lift up her voice. Lift up her life. Give someone else/a(n abused) child/whatever (memories are hazy) a voice. Yours." I took the tagline literally and thought the girl was mute and the ad was for a service that allowed you to literally give a mute child your voice. I wondered why someone would want to just give up their voice like that, even if it was for a commendable reason (even though I now know voice box transplants are actually possible)! It was only when I saw the ad again a few years later that I realised it was actually for a child abuse charity.

I didn't used to believe that cartoons were so difficult to do.
I used to believe that diseases were little things

I used to believe on the TV little people lived inside it

I didn´t use to eat sweets but now I eat a lot

When I was twelve, the only exposure to the word "academy" I had was a place called the Vulcan Science Academy, from Star Trek.

So when my dad said that he and his band were going to play at "the academy", I was taken aback and thought, "So the Vulcan Science Academy is real?!".

I thought that the 'Futurama' theme was written by Bender.
