Limited or No Electricity and Tech
When people think of the Amish, they think of their anti-modern way of living. They use horses and buggies to get around, they use no electricity or phones, and they don't even take photos! Their lifestyle is governed by a philosophical and somewhat religious belief called Gelassenheit.
