I grew up in the 70's so of course we had color tv, but when I would watch a black and white tv show I thought that EVERYTHING was black and white back then.

When I was younger I used to think that the world was in black and white and wondered how Grandpa and Grandma felt when colour was introduced...

I used to believe in the olden days there was no color in the world, only black and white. I believed this because I saw old pictures that were only in black and white and also because old t.v. shows were only in black and white. I concluded during those time frames, color did not exist in the world.

I used to believe that the world was in all black and white back in "The good ol' days" and that the world came to colour when the wizard of oz figured out how to add colour to movies they did it for real life as well.

I used to believe that people in that past really were black and white...like in those black and white pictures, you know?
I thought that the color portraits must have been science fiction back then.

As old pictures of my grandma and mum were in black and white, when I was like 3 I used to believe that the world was colourless once.

I used to believe that a long, long time ago, everything in the world was white and black and one day, God decided to color everything, and rainbows were his crayons.

That's what happens when you make your kids watch old black and white films.

I once believed that the world was jus black and white, from watching on a black and white tv. And some-where’s near the high 80's someone invented colour and painted the whole world, and then we had all these wacky colours around us. We so silly....

i was born in the 80's and was around my grandparents alot. we used to watch alot of black and white TV, so i thought the world at one point was black and white. and through some mystical power turned into color one day. i believed this till i was about 5 or 6.

When I was a little kid I saw a black and white show, and I asked my mom why there was no color. She said "Because they didn't have color back in those days." I assumed that she meant that everything right down to trees and grass was a shade of gray! I belevied this for probably over a year then I got that issue cleared up :)

When I was little I believed that someone invented color. You know that's how T.V. got to change from black and white. So I asked my mother, "Who invented color, he must have been really smart?" I haven't been slapped so hard since.

I use to watch a lot of black and white shows, and I thought that in the past everything was black and white (it makes sense, right, old photos were in black and white too!). I was about 9 when I asked my mom when they invented color..

I used to believe that color was a recent invention. When I saw old news films, they were always in black and white. Since news films from my day accurately showed the colors as they appeared I thought old news films captured things exactly as they appeared then.

I used to think that the old black and white movies meant that people didn't see in color back then. That up until color tv came into play that everyone saw in black and white.

When I was about 6 I once asked my mom when the world was going to change color again? She didn't understand what I meant so I explained to her that when you watch old movies and pictures the world used to be black and white. Now it changed to this colorful world and was wondering when it would change again.

I believed the whole world used to be Black and white because old movies were black and white.

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???
