Periodic reminder that the Amish use plenty of modern tech (vaccines and fridges for insulin are great examples).
They merely reject modern tech when they perceive it divides their community.
They aren’t *afraid* of technology, they resent technology that *isolates* people.
I'm not saying we should all be Amish, or that Amish communities are perfect. But we could all stand to learn from this specific aspect of their culture.
