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

Until I was about 12 I believed that the color in old movies was the way people saw everything back then. Like the slightly off color of 60's and 70's movies I thought people and things just looked like that. Same with black and white movies.

I used to believe that black and white movies where black and white because in those days there wassnt any colour in the world :-/ and also that Black and White Cows produced Semi Skimmed Milk

When I was little, I used to watch old black-and-white TV with my mom, and I thought that ife was in black and white back when those shows were made ;)

one dumb kid

I used to believe that everything in the world was black and white, and that color, in general, was not invented until recently.

My Dad watched documentaries about WWI and WWII when I was a kid. The footage was all in black and white, and I thought that the whole world did not exist in color up to a later point.

Also, I once thought that people in photographs were somehow frozen there and continually holding their breath.

when i was a kid i would look at my moms old pictures that where black and white so i thought the whole world was black and white.

I used to think that the world was black and white before the 1960's because all the tv shows before that time were in black and white. I just assumed that color hadn't been invented yet.

I used to think that the old days were actually black and white because of the old black and white pictures.

When I was younger I used to watch a lot of old black and white re-run shows and learned from my parents that those shows came out when they were kids so I asked my mom "when did the world have color?" I thought that the whole world was black and white.

I used to think that everything was once in black and white untill they invented color tv.

I was lookin' @ a pic of my grandpa whom I call Papa and he ssaid back then the world was black and white and I freaked (just a little)

You know those old black and white photos? Well, when I was little I thought the entire universe had no color at all untill around the time I was born. Like the sky was white and the ground was grey. Haha kind of dumb I know.

Olivia

I used to believe that in old times the world was grey (black and white, i got the idea from old movies)

Bryce

when I was about 3 whenever we watched 50's tv shows in black and white... I thought that the reason it was black and white was because they had no color back then

Anon

that before there was color t.v. everyone thing was black and white

Anon

I used to think that the WORLD used to be black and white, due to hearing some relative say "back when we were black and white", meaning "when I was younger". :]

Anon

When I was a kid I thought that "back in the old days" everything was black and white because I used to see old pictures of my gramma and granpa which were black and white.

Anon

I used to believe that just like movies, life was once in black and white too. And one day, everything just became colorful.
