Its not so much different than living in a city then and denying children the ability to learn to be farmers. it is easier to learn a computer for the first time as an adult than learn how to run a farm. Amish take varying attitudes towards technology like computers. The more progressive Amish now have computers but no Internet access. It is a community that takes a very slow and deliberate approach to technology. They debate how technology will affect society before adoption instead of adopting and seeing what happens.
