That's because color hadn't been invented yet and therefore people could only see in black and white. That's why old shows don't have color.

Many professional gamers still depend on them because they have lower latency than USB.

PS/2 isn't vintage. I'm still using an adapter to connect my Microsoft Natural keyboard through USB.
