What stupid things did people believe about new technologies when they first came out?

Idk but i still dont trust microwaves no matter how safe they are proved to be

@TheCelt: I don't either.. A radiation box for every home.. Smh

Almost all human made things lol

@tutupradhan: Hhaaa... More, more, newer, newer, now, now, now..... LOL

@Zilya777: haha,i believed really stupid things.. about new technology when i was 5 years old. Like i considered tv as a magical box,took the bikes as a god gifted thing etc..lol

@tutupradhan: I'm sure you are not the only one. I was born before COLOR TV. And there was only 3 channels, & none were on 24 hrs. I did not see a color TV, until I was 11 yrs old, at someone else's house. I was amazed & thought they were very rich. I tried to tell my grandmother.. She did not know what I was talking about. She said " no, there are only 3 colors, black, white & gray "
And then she said" it will be evil." Now im her age & I do not have or watch TV. ( just movies, I choose). :-)

@Zilya777: wow! Your story kinda reminds me of my childhood...In childhood everyones mind is anxious about new things!/unknown things.I can remember,i was once asked my grandmom about how a kid born @5years old. My grandmom answered it cleverly ! She said that,kids are supposed to fall from sky and their parents catch the kid. Lol

@tutupradhan: Hhaaa. Mine told me from a seed that grows. Then, they asked me "why are you praying in the yard with all the flowers & vegetables". I thought my new sibling was in the ground & I was worried & waiting for her :-) . I was 5 yrs old

@Zilya777: haha yeah.. tats why childhood is innocent nd cute,a lot of question arises in the same time.. With the flow of time we come to know things tat were unknown..
