The Amish has a more intentional approach to technology than a lot of us. They don't consider just the benefit but the downside.

    You know what will never go over with a crowd of smart people? Thinking you are smarter than them.

  There is an awful lot of debates as to the downsides of technology -- you're on HN, killer, it's what we do all day. The Chinese government restricted video games; the US gov may punt on TikTok. It comes up a lot, it's just that Capitalism is trying pretty damn hard to shove this tech down your throat. By comparison, the Amish are pretty much disconnected from the modern capitalist world, except when they have to be.
