fascinating, thoughtprovoking article by howard rheingold in wired (from 1999, but i didn't see it before) about the amish and their selective use of technology -- "does it bring us together, or draw us apart".

Wow, very thoughtprovoking. Thanks for linking to that.

It was interesting, and surprisingly close to some of my thoughts about technology, living with a technophilic early adopter.

I've been fascinated with how the Amish treat technology since I finally learned what was behind it a few years ago. Very interesting ideas.
