Many Amish actually carry cell phones. It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the effect that the technology has on their faith and their society. They see the cell phone as a tool for communication and connectedness.
I have a lot of respect for a community that can stay so true to its principles in the face of the onslaught of modern culture.
