Yep, I realize that some communities make use of phones and all of them make use of modern hospitals and interact with modern society at many touch points, however, they're not walking around casually with smart phones in their pockets (from your article): "The fact that the Amish choose to regulate how the phone is used shows continuing concern over potential ill effects, were it to be fully accepted." Amish don't even run electricity into their houses, so I imagine it would be a tough thing to use in practice, except in limited scenarios. It'd be cute if a people decided to reject automobiles, mechanization, most forms of electricity, etc, and also plugged in smart phones and browsed TikTok all day.
