I thought black and what television was black and white because history happened in black and white. I suppose that means life in colour happened after the invention of colour tv

Tangentially related… The creation of the blue LED was so revolutionary, and took so much effort and science to make, that the guy who discovered how to make blue LEDs got a nobel prize.

I thought that if enough time passed old photos would turn black and white like how they were b&w in the 80s and turned colour in the 90s.
