>>8235028>Are you Amish? If so, how come you have Internet?nta but Amish aren't forbidden from using modern technologies. I know an Amish family that uses an ipad for their business.
Every Amish family decides for themselves what's acceptable. The most universal rule is that technologies that negatively impact the family structure are not brought into the home. That's why most Amish communities will have telephones located in outbuildings, so it's not tempting to sit on the phone in the comfort of your own house and chat.
Similarly, an Amish family might purchase an electric wheelchair for an elderly member, because the benefit (the old person becoming more mobile and independent) helps the family.
