As a descendant of the first Amish to come to the US (now Mennonite), this is the most accurate take on the Amish and their relationship with technology that I've seen online. The Amish and Mennonite split happened because one group felt the other was becoming too progressive too quickly. The Amish are following the same trajectory as the Mennonite, just much much more slowly and cautiously. There's nuance in there, but that's basically the gist of it.
