I believe the Amish are allowed to use technology as long as they don't own it. I've seen Amish people use cell phones & power tools.

That's sort of like Star Trek!!! Everyone uses technology but they don't really own it. Although some don't own a vast vineyard while others don't own a trailer park.:D

No. Different communities pick and choose which technologies they want to use, based on whether they believe the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, unlike the rest of us who generally just embrace it all. The Washington Post just had a detailed explanation of it last week.
