So Our Kids Will Dream in High Definition?
Cats: TV, Tech|First, read this article:
Black and white TV generation have monochrome dreams
How cool is that? It seems intuitive to me, but it’s neat to see a study that would appear to confirm that the media we view affects our dreams, even so much as determining black and white vs color.
I wonder if dreaming in black and white affects you differently? The Baby Boomers (and some of their immediate predecessors) would then be unique among all the generations of humanity in this regard. Although there are so many other ways my parents’ generation have distinguished themselves from the others in recent shared memory (for good and ill) that it would be difficult to ascertain exactly how the lack of color in dream would make them more susceptible for any particular behavior.

does this mean that pre-TV everyone dreamed in “radio?”

I like that. But I think the answer is they were dreaming in ‘reality’. How about that for a concept?
