One of my grandsons is 12 or so. He’s going to New Hampshire for a sleep away lacrosse camp, and flying alone. It’s very exciting. He’s going to be on Lake Winnepesauke, of “What About Bob” fame.
He just learned that there were no electronics allowed in camp and he was a bit crestfallen. If he alone were not allowed, it would be a big problem, but I suspect it will take about ten minutes for them to forget all about it and truly enjoy their time.
It’s a shame what we’ve done.

A messy illustration of chaos - the original painting by Hugo Vogel was likely helped by colour of flames. Chaos - people objecting to being put out of work by new technology.

How the #Amish Let #Technology in Without Letting It Take Over
After three years studying the community, I came to see that the real question isn't what technology can do, but what it asks us to give up.
By: Lindsay Ems, July 27, 2026
Excerpt: "I first began studying the Amish in 2012 as a doctoral researcher of media studies at Indiana University, located within a few hours of settlements in Elkhart, LaGrange, and Daviess counties. Going into the project, I knew what most everyone else did: that the Amish prized simple living, communal values, and religious discipline, while resisting certain technologies such as cars, TV, and electricity. In my initial conversations with Amish leaders, they told me that they were worried that new technology might diminish the sense of purpose people in their communities feel. They worried that new communication tools, such as smartphones and social media, would disrupt rituals, traditions, and their established communication patterns. Above all, they wanted to preserve their shared culture in which each person felt spiritually connected to their neighbors and the #NaturalWorld."
[...]
"In Joe’s settlement, the #BlackBoxPhone was developed in response to a very specific social problem: Roughly 100 crews left the settlement daily for their construction jobs and needed a way to communicate while away from home. At the same time, several ministers believed that the cell phones already adopted by many community members should be abandoned. They worried that private text messages could facilitate extramarital relationships. And #smartphones, they feared, tempted users to access unfiltered, immoral content such as pornography, which could undermine human intimacy.
"The black-box phone, by contrast, was a happy medium that posed threats to community members’ social and spiritual health. Its design reflects that: The phone is an intentionally bulked-up contraption that enables mobile communications from a vehicle but is highly inconvenient to carry. It only allows public, audible conversations — no texting or internet access. It is also shared among the crew members. Ministers in the settlement hoped that adopting these devices would make individual cell phone ownership among their constituents unnecessary.
"As a substitute for cell phones, the black-box phone is a distinctively Amish modification of an existing technology that better aligns with their values. It forces public communicative arrangements, allowing peers to hold each other accountable for their actions. Additionally, this device enables the Amish to achieve their goals and adhere to their social norms without submitting to the individualizing, privatizing, and attention-fragmenting logic of #BigTech."

“We are interested in building alternative social infrastructure that allows us to be no longer reliant on Big Tech”👌🏻😍
“The new Luddites seek not to abandon technology entirely, but build new infrastructure that embraces proximity and in-person human relationships, instead of alienation and doom-scrolling” 👈🏻 My favourite quote from the entire article! It's pure 👨🏻🍳💋

The luddites were not angry about the new industrial tech. They were angry about abusive labor practices used by capitalist owners.
...basically.
So yeah - call me a #Luddite too I guess..

One difference is that someone actually grows real food and (at least currently) industrially-processed food is much worse (both nutritionally and taste/quality-wise) than human-grown and human-cooked food.
Yes, currently, the clothing we wear is industrially made, not hand-constructed, but when the weaving machines were introduced, they produced crappy clothes relative to what experts could do. (The #luddite s were not anti-technology. They were anti-crappy-technology that was being pushed on them by corporate CEOs interested in the bottom line over quality work.)
I think the answer to these arguments is that we are a long long long way from AI providing human-quality scholarship.
