When I was young, I used to believe that in the past the life used to be in black and white.
I believed that from the age of 3 to the age of 6 because all of the pictures of my grandparents when they were young was in black and white so I believed, there wasn't any colours before.
But one day, I asked my father about this belief. He laughed about me and said it was not real. I felt so stupid.

When I was child, I used to believe that, when the pictures were in black and white, people lived without colours. I wondered what happened when the colours appeared: "Was it at one go or progressive? What was the reaction of people?". So I asked to my grandparents and they laughed. Now, of course, I no longer believe at this.

I used to believe that at the time of film in black & white, people lived without color. At the start, I thought there was any color, so they can't differenciate the color between food, clothes or even hair.
I think it was weird to see movies in black & white but live in color. Now I know that they didn't live in black & white and juste didn't have the technique in the 20th Century.

I used to believe the world was all black and white, because of old black and white tv shows my parents watched like Andy Griffith. One day I saw that Andy Griffith was in color so I naturally assumed that sometime when that show was aired color began to come into the world. I asked my parents what year Andy Griffith came out and thought that it was the same year that color came into the world.

I used to believe…

every time I see a black and white movies or documents on TV, I used to think that back in the day everything was black and white. and I was so glad that I wasn't born in those times. and I would say to myself I love the sun I love colors and would feel bad for all people who lived back then without seeing the sun or any colors.

When I was a young kid, I didn't understand that older cameras couldn't capture color. I used to think that the entire world was simply black and white - and that's why the pictures looked like that. I believed the world became 'in color' at some later point in time.
