The power for the president to disable the internet in times of emergencies would be catastrophic to our country. Since our country is very dependent on various sources including electronics shutting down the internet would dramatically affect our country even if for a little while.
People nowadays are adapted and accustomed into using the internet and have even make it part of their daily lives. Taking the internet away if only for a moment would disrupt the order in airports and in hospitals also police stations or prisons. Airports and hospitals are important matters on which to note on because these two greatly rely on internet access in order to keep things running smoothly by keeping files or schedules on when events will occur. Whether it’s from a normal house to a powerful business of some sort internet is used in all of these places so as you can see internet affects several places in different areas.
Since this is still being considered that doesn’t exactly mean that the need to have an emergency shutdown for internet will be passed. Before the plan is made though I suggest that the president thinks very carefully about it before it is passed.
