Generation raised with black and white TV dreams in monochrome
Posted by: in Misc. Gadgets NewsFiled under: Misc. Gadgets
This one’s pretty wild — current research in the UK finds that people who grew up in the era of black and white media dream in monochrome about a quarter of the time, while those of us raised with color TV nearly always dream in full-on Technicolor. The research suggests that exposure to media between the ages of three and 10 is when the switch is set, since that’s when the capability to dream kicks in — which means we’re suddenly terrified our kids are going to wind up dreaming in heavily-compressed SD stretched to the wrong aspect ratio, buffering endlessly before failing out due to a missing plugin. Here’s to the future.
