When I was little I used to believe that when you put the VCR on record, it would record all the noise in the background. So whenever it was on record I wouldn't say a thing, and wondered why everyone else in my family was talking.

I use to think that if you had your picture taken you would go inside the camera and live forever in the picture. I thought this until I was about 5.

Well when I was little I used to beleive that fax machines rolled the paper into a little roll and then send them through little pipes to the owner. It took me years before I relized that they just scanned them.

Talk about a paper jam!

When I was a kid, I asked my dad about the meaning of the AM/FM switch on the radio. He said that if you changed the switch, the radio would turn into a different radio. I had the image of doors folding and unfolding and the radio becoming much bigger -- more like a home stereo (AM -> FM ?). I was very careful *never* to touch that switch, because I didn't want my daddy to lose his portable AM radio.

She was 13 at the time...

When I was younger and I was looking at some photos of me and some friends. I saw that one of them had red-eye, me not knowing what had happened figured that he was the devil! I blanked him and ran away, until I got a phonecall home to my mum from the school asking why me and the boy werent friends, I told my mum he was the devil and showed her the photo to prove it, she burst out laughing and told my teacher the whole story!!

I used to believe that the thing the doctor looked in your ear through was actually a camera, kind of like a digital camera, that could store pictures of the inside of your ear on its "screen". I used to get really mad because he'd let my parents see the "pictures" but not me.

When I was about six, I had a friend visiting from Miami that really liked a certain purple bracelet I had. On the day she was leaving, she asked me for it, and I wanted to give it to her, but I only had one of them. I thought I would be clever, keep mine, and make a duplicate for her...in my grandparent's copy machine. Much to my dismay that this huge machine only gave me a black and white picture of the purple bracelet. My friend wasn't impressed. Sadly, Xerox machines are not omnipotent. But I really thought it would work.
