I would actually like it if you quit all unnecessary electronics for two days. Pick the days yourself, seriously. The only electronics, that I consider necessary, are lights, the oven, refrigerator, freezer and also the air conditioning or radiator, depending on if you live in a cold or hot place. Side: For

That "point" you described would not be nessicary for the majority of people. Most people do not spend their entire lives on their computer. Trying to use government action to help a extremely small minority would do greater harm to the personal rights of the majority. Side: Against

Do you know how much computers actually do? The help keep your electricity on. They help check out your food when you go shopping for groceries. They help manage your money. They run your internet. Shutting them off for two days would leave some very bad effects behind. Side: Against

Let's say he means only 'personal' computers, nothing needed to save lives or keep the economy going. In this case, how is it a major infringement upon personal rights? They're not taking away your property, just turning it off for 2 days. They're not infringing upon your right to say anything, they're just turning off one medium for it which really didn't matter anyway. So tell me how it's a 'major' infringement when it's not even covered as a basic human right? Side: For

If we would grant the government to make invasive descions like that for us, we would be opening the door for further invasions. There is no reason for the government to restrict our computer use for any given time. It is our own choice to make. While there are time were rights may be required to be sacrificed for the greater good, this is deffinately not one of those times. Computer use may not be a basic human right, but the right to choice how we spend our time (so long as it does not harm others) is. Side: Against
