Some of those surprised me. I thought they were completely primitive, and turns out they don't even milk their cows by hand!!!!! *disappointed*

I went to Amish country for my honeymoon. They have wonderful, peaceful plces there to stay...what I respect so much is how the women are conservative and respectful. Life is not as fast or nearly as scandalous... It is nice that some of the values and morals or the past are still preserved in a quiet, beautiful way, such as in Amish country.
As a side note, they do have a phone in case of dire emergencies and also they are allowed to ride in cars, as long as they are not the drivers.
There is just so many fascinating aspects of the Amish and their lifestyle and relgion. But I do have to add, it is quite amazing how ignorant many people in this world are, as mildly reflected in this forum by most.
