Overview: Drawing on his experience of running summer camps for children, Baskin makes the case for 'unplugged' time for young people. Turn off the tech and turn on oral communication, collaboration and creativity--these top skills for life need practicing in face-to-face situations. You may change your own attitude toward all-consuming technology.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).
