As they don't huddle in caves without tools, the Amish use lots of technology.

They actually use fair amounts of modern technology, it's just that the things they reject are pretty central to modern mainstream lifestyle.

The Amish didn't start evaluating new technologies in the stone age. If you look at technologies invented after the hammer, of course you'll have a hammer. But you won't necessarily have a smart phone or an Echo.
