I would like to establish a national holiday called "Technology-Free Day," on which day, contemporary people are encouraged or required to use their electronic devices as little as possible in their daily lives.
Your passage is grammatically correct, but I've made a few small changes to make it sound more formal and clear. The holiday name is capitalized, "technology" is hyphenated, and the phrase "as frequently in their daily lives as possible" is replaced with "as little as possible." Also I've used "electronic devices" instead of "electric devices" as it is more commonly used and sound more accurate.
