I found the article absolutely fascinating. I was glad that the author pondered questions about technology and community, rather than hold up the Amish to ridicule as hypocrites.
Thanks for checking it out. On the whole the article is really well done. And it’s actually about 7 or 8 years old. Great point on the Amish not shunning all tech, but being ‘techno-selective.’
I remember the first time I saw an Amish person with a cell. A lady taking a call from her husband at work. Blew me away.

I have to admit, I would be flabbergasted, too, if I saw an Amish person on a cell phone.
