The world was black and white before colour photographs and colour TV

When I was little, I looked at my mom's old black and white photographs and also saw black and white TV shows from the past and used to think actual people used to see the world in black and white, until they invented color television and color photographs and started magically seeing in colour. But now I know pretty much everyone sees in colour....except those whom are colorblnd....

I used to believe that when they made black and white movies the people and places were actually black and white.

I used to think that because all the old movies were in black and white, that everything back then was.

When I first saw "the Wizard of Oz" I thought that all of the world was in black and white until that movie came out, because it started in black and whit then went to color. I believed this until I was nine.

When my brother was very young, he asked my mom when the world turned into colour. By watching old TV shows in black and white, he thought that the whole world was that way.

I use to beleive, when I was young, that the world didn't get its color until after I was born. Everything on TV was black and white before I was born.

I used to believe in the old days that the world was black and white and in the 80's it turned to color.

My grandmother always showed me pictures of her and her friends/family growing up. Of course the pictures were black and white. I used to think that when my grandmother was in the pictures, that the only colors were black,white, and grey. I thought that the other colors were something that they came out with recently.

I used to think the world was black and white a long time ago - because I saw it on television. I asked my father "what was the world like before there was color?" He looked back at me, puzzled, until he figured out what I meant.

The first time I left the United States and went to another continent, I imagined the world would be like that, but it turned out that I was wrong - sensation was the same here and over there.

When I was younger, I used to think that people who lived before color TV (like my grandparents) lived in a world of black and white...

Since all the old TV shows and movies were in Black and white....I used to think the world used to be black and white and turned into color sometime recently.

I used to believe that the world used to be in black and white (that was, of course, after seeing old black and white movies!)

having watched a bunch of black and white movies,and seen a bunch of black and white pictures,whitch were obviously old.I concluded that in the old days every thing was only black and white,and those films and pictures were made before color was invented. Color was invented somewhere in the 70's
