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

when i was like 5-6 yrs old i used to believe that the entire world was black and white in colour due to the old movies i had seen like the ones in the 40's or 50's.(i was born in 1986 colour tv was already there).i asked my mom about this and she just couldnt stop laughing for the entire day. stupid right?

I used to believe before color television people not only watched tv in black and white, but also lived life in black and white.

From watching early TV shows, ie Honeymooners or old news reels, I actually thought the entire world itself use to be in black and white, and not until the 50's did everything come into color.

because all my mothers childhood pictures are in black and white- I actually used to believe that colour was a modern day thing and everything in the world was black and white before colour was 'invented' ha!! rediculous

I used to think that the reason there was only black and white tv was because the whole world was only black and white, that color in the world was new.

I used to believe the world used to be black and white when watching re-runs of old shows

When my dad told me TV was in black and white when he was young, he said, "Everything was black and white." I used to believe that the whole world was in black and white. Everything.

When looking through black and white photos, my 5 year old cousin asked me " so when did the world get colour?" she thought everything was black and white in thye 'olden days'.

When i was young, in the mid eighties, I believed that the world used to be black and white, until they invented color television sets.

When I was younger I used to watch a lot of black and white movies and tv shows (Like I Love Lucy and Shirley Temple movies). Well I used to wonder why it was only black and white and no color. For about 8 years of my life I thought back when tv was first made there was no color, just black and white, so the whole world was black and white, not just tv and movies.

I used to think that the world was black and white before color T.V. was invented. Imagine my surprise when I saw color photos of my parents when they were young kids!

I used to believe the world was in black and white before colour movies were invented.

When I was a child, my mother and I were discussing television and she told me that they had invented color (t.v.'s} when she was a child. I mistook this and spent the next couple of years believing that everything (all of life) was black in white and that color had been invented. I never did figure out how to mix black and white to get blue.

I used to think that black and white television shows were black and white because they hadn't invented color yet. The color TV programs were programs made after they invented colors.

When I was younger and would see old black-and-white photos of my grandmother, I used to think that the world really WAS in black-and-white back then!
