 | Interesting article about the way technology deforms around the Amish. On the bright side, although they have worked out "plain" ways to generate electricity and run computers, the mobile phone is a massive sticking point and telephones have to be kept in an outhouse in the fields so calls do not interrupt family and community life. So you can still do the joke about phoning up the Amish and shouting "Gotcha".
Besides, the Amish refer to everyone who is not Amish as "the English". And that, my friends, rocks. So hard.
(On other news, I can't believe Ian Brown has just totally missed Pat Nevin's "dark night of the Seoul" gag. The man has no culture)
