From what I’ve read, and I could be wrong so take this accordingly, they don’t think technology is bad specifically, only things which cause you to be overly dependent on others, especially “The English” (non-Amish). If they can’t make it themselves, or within their community, it’s bad because they become dependent on outsiders. This is why most technology that is post 1820s or so is absent in an Amish community. Heavy industry and anything requiring modern science is beyond the means of such a small insular group.

they sure love Cedar Point Amusement Park on Lake Erie
