That link should get you going, so what was your misconceptions.

I remember when I was little I used to think that if I touched a black person I would become black. I didn't want to stand out THAT much from my siblings, so avoided touching them until it happened by accident one day.

Those were the days...

i thought that the people on TV were people just like me, and other people were watching me on their TV. that made going to the bathroom very awkward.

I thought there was a big threat that would cause every computer to crash and life would suck.

Y2K...

When I was a kid, TV was god to me. Now, the Internet is my god.

which of your gods would win in a fight, i say radio might make a come back in the 2nd half

My dad told me that century egg (Chinese preserved egg... it is colored black) was made by putting the egg in a bucket of horse piss and left for a couple years. I believed him, but I ate it anyway because it tasted so good.

I had no idea what Christianity was until I applied to a Catholic high school. And it wasn't until I took religion class there that I realized my best friend in elementary/middle school was Jewish. That was a surprise. I guess the only religion I knew about was Buddhism, because my mom is Buddhist.

I always believed that when I heard a song on the radio, that the band whose song it was, was performing it live in the radio station.

I also belived that if you were to look at the magnetic tape of a cassete tape under a microscope, that you would see the lyrics of the song.

I always thought that ladybugs were baby-fairies.

I belived that at night all my toys were alive and just didn't want to talk to me. Many were disposed of for ignoring their master...
