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

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 mum had told me that in the olden days there were black + white tvs and photos. I actually thought that the whole world was black + white.

When I was younger, I thought that the world was black and white until colour t.v. came out.

I used to think that the world was black and white because that's all you ever saw of it in pictures and whatnot. One day i asked my dad "when did the world become color?" he laughed..

I used to think that the world used to be black and white and not in colour because that is how the films looked!

I believed that color did not exist when black and white movies and pictures existed.

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 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 think that the world was all black and white, just because of all the photos and videos! (I'm 14) I used to think I was like a Sim character from the computer game, being moved around by some big person with a mouse! (maybe this is God with a rodent pet, you never know!)

I watched my favorite cartoon betty boop which was in black and white and I remember my mother saying that the tape was old so I came to the conclusion that one day (I dont know when) the world changed from black and white to color so thats why tom and jerry and me and my friends where in color. ODD HUH:)

When I was younger and would watch old reruns of black and white shows like "I Love Lucy" I really thought everything was black and white in real life. I thought if I was living in a time of the "Adamms Family" then all my clothes and skin and furniture would be black and white.

i used to believe that when my Mom was a kid, everything was black and white.
Then, one day, everything changed and then there was color.
This explains why there was Black and White TV shows.

I used to think that in the 1950s, when my parents were little, the whole world was in "black & white." I guess I believed this because of black & white images I saw on old TV shows from that era.

When I was young I belived that color was invented. I never saw pictures in color they were always in black and white so I thought someone came along and invented color.

Dan

When I was little I used to look at the black and white pictures, which somehow gave me the idea that the world used to black and white.

I used to believe that people didn't see in color because all old TV shows were in black and white.

Andrea

i used to think the world was black and white beacause of black and white photos but then the world became colourful again!

Anon

I used to believe everything was black and white long ago because old-timer movies are black and white.
