I used to be a land surveyor and I did a lot of work in Lancaster County PA. Funny story I still think about sometimes. The Amish have discovered roadside barbecue and many of them have turned it into a cottage business. One afternoon after completing a survey we were hungry to grab some lunch, and we saw a group of Amish women in bonnets on the roadside tending to barbecue over one of those grills made from a sawed-in-half oil barrel. It was on a farm next to a barn and as were pulling around to park our truck we noticed a teenage Amish boy walking while talking on a mobile phone. He noticed we saw him and he immediately picked up his pace and started walking faster in order to get behind the corner of the barn so we couldn't observe him anymore while we parked the truck.
So what I learned from this is that even though the Amish may be allowed to use certain forms of technology, they're not necessarily proud of it or want outsiders to know they're using it.
