Yes, okay, already you see the main question. Who is “they” in terms of “they should turn off the internet for one weekend per month”? Hm. Everyone who could possibly be in charge of this decision at this point in time is motivated by hate and absolute absorption or power, and would use the Internet-Free Weekend to their nefarious advantage. I guess we would have to create some sort of a benevolent Godlike figure to be in charge of this, if possible.
The weekends would be chosen at random, maybe through a lottery numbers-type scenario with the weekends written on balls in a lottery-ball drum tumbler, but they would be chosen one year in advance, so you would be able to plan around them. This is to create a more peaceful society, not a more chaotic one. It wouldn’t be like “Surprise Thanksgiving,” though that is another good idea that you can read about at the Awl. You’d know when it was coming.
But why?
Cheetahs with hotspots.
