My wife loves old movies. Half the time our TV is on TCM and we are watching some old BW movie from the 30s or 40s and it's been that way since our kids were born. My daughter asked me one day when she was little, how old I was when the world got color. I was confused at first about the question, but then realized she did not know that color film was the difference and not the world. Interesting their perception not growing up in a world before color movies and TV.
