anabaptist groups, such as the amish or the mennionites are often shown as being against all modern technology. this image is false, and largely relies on ignorance. these groups are not technophobic, they simply judge the technologies they use: if the technology is useful for the group as a whole, and it does not pose a risk in making the group fall apart, the technology is usually kept. as an example, tractors are used, because they help with agriculture. cars, on the other hand, are often not used, because they help drive the community apart.
