This is a great example of hypocrisy, and an amusing one at that..

The Amish, in general, have nothing against technology; they just avoid what they consider to be distractions.

For instance, the buggies do have electric turn signals, and many farms have electrical generators to run machinery.

The Amish apparent aversion to technology isn't about technology itself but about staying away from consumerism and maintaining a high degree of self sufficiency. If you never have a tv or car, you never feel the need to get a better tv or car. If you dress in a very regimented traditional manner, you don't feel the need to go buy the latest fashion. and so on..
