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

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

I used to believe that the world was black and white until technicolor came out. I was watching "Wizard of Oz" with my grandmother and I asked her what it was like living without color. oops

I used to believe that the world was actually black and white. (As it is on TV in old movies)

When I was little I used to believe that the world was black and white when my parents were children (because of black and white TV). I thought everything was black and white and that colors were something that had been invented by someone.

I used to watch old black and white tv shows and think that the everything in the world was black and white back then.

I use to think that if I went to Kentucky everything would be black and white! I was around 8 yrs old when my dad told us he was taking us to his hometown. The only pictures we had of dad were done in black and white so my sister and I asked him why everything was black and white in Kentucky. He just laughed and led us to believe it was true until we finally saw for ourselves once we got there! How gullible! :o)

I, like so many others, was convinced (by my dad) that a long time ago when he was little the world existed only in black and white. but then they invented skittles.

You know how old movies are in black and white? I used to believe that the whole world was black in white in the old days.

I used to beleive that when TV was black and white that the whole world was. I though that there was no colour before colour television.

When i was about 6 or 7, I used to think the world was once in black and white because of the old photo's and films.

the world was all black and white(like tv used to be) and all of a sudden, everyone woke up to colour, thats why old films are black and white, i believed this untill i was 9!!

I once asked my dad 'when you were little were you in black and white?'

So I guess I believed that lol XD

When I was younger I thought that since all the tv shows that were in the "olden days" were in black and white, then there wasn't any color in real life back then either.

I used to believe that before color television, the whole world was black and white

Anon

I used to believe that before I was born, the world was just in black and white. That was only because I saw pictures and films that were in black and white. I just assumed that color wasn't invented yet.

I was thought that when my mom was growing up, that she grew up in black and white due to olden day black and white movies

i actually asked her one day how it felt that she was living in a "colour world"

When I was little I thought that people saw in black and white before the advent of color TV. Once color TV was invented people began to see in color too.
