the past

I used to believe that colour was a recent invention and that when my parents were younger, everything was black and white because the only pictures I'd seen of the past were black and white. I thought that someone had invented colour a few years previously!

I used to believe that the entire pre-1970s world was in black and white, and that color in the world was invented around the same time as color TVs.

I used to think that the olden days were actually black and white, like on early television shows.

I used to believe that the world was black and white before I was born due to old photographs. When my Mom would show me old pictures of herself or our family, I would always say, "Was that taken, when the world was black and white, Mommy?" Somehow I believed that my birth miraculously caused the world to be filled with color. What a little ego right???

I ued to believe that everyone in America was British. I figured, since the British were the first to colonize here, everyone had a bit of British blood in them.

my older sister always wanted to be a teacher, and at 4, i was an easy target. she did teach me to read and do simple math, but when she tried to teach me about history i got confused somehow -- i think it must have been the louisiana purchase bit. at any rate, i ended up believing that any time we wanted a new state, we sent money over to the english. then they took a huge knife and cut off a big chunk of land and stuck an american flag in it and sailed it across the ocean. when it got here, we stuck it onto the rest of the country. the state shapes were usually all ragged because it was really hard to cut all the way through.

I used to believe the world was in black and white because of old movies and tv shows. I thought color was invented.

When I was a kid, I used to think that when black and white movies were made, the world was actually black and white.

When I was a kid, I noticed that when I saw films that were old, they were in black and white, but the world outside was color. I came to the conclusion that there was a point in time where the entire world was black and white and somehow changed to color. I thought this may have had something to do with the "Grey" Depression.

I used to believe that my parents and anyone older used to live in a black and white world without color. This belief came from seeing all of their photos being in black and white.

I used to believe that all the inventors existed in the late 18th century. I didn't think anything had been invented since Edison, Bell, and the like. I guess I thought that after coming up with the telephone, there was nothing else to invent!

I used to think, since all the old pictures are in black and white, that back then EVERYTHING was black and white, so everyone had grey skin etc. I thought this until I was about 7 and I learned about photography.

i used to believe that in the "olden days', the world was black and white because i saw old pictures and they were black and white. some of my friends did too!

I used to beleive that people in the 1930's when T.V. was black and white that people were accually black and white. but not nemore!

When my Mom would tell me stories from her childhood, I always thought she saw things in Black & White (cause after all, all the 'olden' movie are B&W!!)

When I was a little girl, I used to watch westerns with my papa. I always thought that since the picture was black and white, that it was the same back then. I thought that everything was black and white. I also thought that my family came over on the covered wagons that you see on old westerns.:)
