Myth: Amish live without technology. Reality: they CHOOSE technologies. Deliberately.
What They Have
Gas fridges, propane stoves, pneumatic tools, solar panels, battery LED lanterns, diesel generators, hydraulic buggy brakes, gas-powered washing machines.
What They Don't
Grid electricity, TVs, internet, smartphones, cars (in most communities).
Principle
Not 'no technology.' Rather 'only technologies that strengthen family and community.' Calculator — yes. Smartphone — no. One calculates. Other destroys. Difference isn't in electricity — in consequences.
