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

I used to wonder why some movies were in black and white and while others were in color. I came up with the idea that the whole world had only recently develped color and prior to this, the whole world had existed in only black and white colors.

i used to think that in the olden days, people couldnt see any colors, like it was all black and white, like on old televisions, after seeing several history footage on tv.

Born in 1959, my early TV "world" was Black & White, then color came in to our home. Well then I used to believe the World pre 1960's was in Black & White, we humans starting seeing color post 1960!

The world used to be in black and white before the invention of the colored television.

I know a girl who used to think that prior to the late 1950s (when color television was introduced) the world was in black-and-white, and colors were invented around that time.

I used to believe that the people in black and white films and tv programmes were actually black and white, and I always wondered how they managed without colour!

When i was young i used to believe that back when they showed and made those black and white films that the whole world used to be black and white and there wasn't any colour.

I used to believe from watching old movies that the entire world was black and white until the 1950s or so.

i used to believe that in the "olden days', the world was black and white because i saw old pictures and they were black and white. some of my friends did too!

I once believed that the world was jus black and white, from watching on a black and white tv. And some-where’s near the high 80's someone invented colour and painted the whole world, and then we had all these wacky colours around us. We so silly....

I used to believe in the olden days there was no color in the world, only black and white. I believed this because I saw old pictures that were only in black and white and also because old t.v. shows were only in black and white. I concluded during those time frames, color did not exist in the world.

I used to think that the whole world was all black and white in the old days, just like in the movies, and the Wizard of Oz was a major breathrough.

My mom has a black and white picture of her and her two sisters in halloween costumes. I remember asking when she turned color. She looked confused, and I asked, "Then why are you not colored?" I was probably about six.
