B&W TV Generation Has Monochrome Dreams
Ant writes "The Telegraph reports that people over 55 who were brought up watching a monochrome TV set are more likely to dream in black and white, even years later. New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a profound effect on the color of your dreams. While almost all under-25s dream in color, many over-55s, all of whom were brought up with B&W sets, often still dream in monochrome. The study, out ot Dundee University, used a small number of subjects under 25 or over 55 and the results suggest that '... there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed ... [B]efore the advent of black and white television all the evidence suggests we were dreaming in color.'"
I know! It's almost as ridiculous as the idea that we're made up of little tiny atoms! Hey, earth to scientists, I'm a person, not a bunch of atoms! Speaking of earth, there are some people who claim the earth is round! How ridiculous is that! I see hills, that doesn't look too round! And what about if you walk too far in one direction? Wouldn't you fall off the earth?!? I tell you, these scientists just need a little bit of common sense and a little less scientific method!
