The document compares the old media show Barney and Friends to the newer, interactive media show Dora the Explorer. Both shows aimed to teach children important lessons and values, but Dora allowed children to actively participate by answering questions, while Barney was passive observation. Dora became more popular and educational due to its interactive elements that kept children engaged and learning compared to passive shows like Barney. The rise of interactive media has changed how children learn from television and apps.
