The average American currently spends nearly 7 hours a day staring at screens. Communication professor Josh Misner was one of those people until a shopping incident brought awareness about the harm screen addiction brings to relationships. In this eye-opening talk, he shares the most important lessons learned from a decade of Screen Free Saturdays. As an NIC alumnus, Josh is proud to work at the North Idaho College campus in Communication since 2008. Josh has spent a good portion of his life on college campuses. Along the way, he has earned a BA, MA, and PhD in communication and leadership studies. Currently, Josh’s area of focus is centered in how mindful presence impacts interpersonal relationships.

In addition to being an educator, Josh also loves writing to help others, and he feels fortunate to have his work on mindfulness published in book, textbook, and article formats all over the world.

At home, Josh is proud of his wonderful and supportive family. He and his family enjoy long road trips, exploring abandoned places, attending concerts, and seeing the world! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
