*ALERT* CHRISTIAN SPEAKING! BE WARNED! *ALERT*
I've actually never heard a good reason given by any group to reject technology, because of the simple fact that no group rejects technology as a whole. The wheel is technology, so's the controlled use of fire. But, of course, groups rejecting 'technology' continue to use such devices, without (as far as a know) a principled reason for rejecting some forms technology while using other forms.
