>sweeping comment that children no longer like to look at static exhibts.
>He goes on to say that they want to be entertained by interactives, etc.

>My question is, is there any real data "out there" to support such a

>into an interactive center.  I am concerend that he wants to really sell
>his point (and his plan) but don't know if his statement is really based on
