Hi Lynn,
I suspect it is big with boomers as well as the "youth crowd". All one has to do is look at iPad and Kindle sales (who is buying them) and parallel it to what happened when science centers started introducing touchscreens a million years ago. The same question came up.

>> We have been using Ipads informally with visitors for a few months now and they have been a great tool for a different kind of visitor engagement. Mostly we have used them for one on one interaction with apps such as Touch Physics, Gravity, Planets etc, with a few innovations using a portable projector attached. I am curious to hear how other science centres have used Ipads in innovative ways, as they seem to have been made for our field and I feel the use at our centre may only be scratching the surface.
