Are the Amish right about new technology? Text 1

Are the Amish right about new technology?

The Amish stance toward any invention isn’t that they reject it outright. It’s that they start by assuming they don’t need it, then adopt it only if it’s in line with their values.

The basic stereotype about the Amish – drivers of horse-drawn buggies, wearers of huge beards – is that they’re stuck in the 18th century: if a technology wasn’t invented by then, you won’t find them using it today. So it’s alarming to learn, as the New York Times reported recently, that smartphones, PCs and computer-controlled machinery are increasingly part of the community’s daily life. There are Amish bakeries that take credit cards. So much for your fantasy – OK, my fantasy – of escaping the hyper-connected world and retreating to a simpler era. If clicking and swiping have got even the Amish addicted, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Text 1 Are the Amish right about new technology?

Except, as Kevin Kelly points out in his book What Technology Wants, the Amish have never been unequivocal shunners of modernity. “Amish lives are anything but anti-technological,” he writes. Visiting Amish communities, he found battery-powered radios, computer-controlled milling machines, solar panels, chemical fertilisers and GM crops. What distinguishes the Amish stance toward any given invention isn’t that they reject it outright; it’s that they start by assuming they don’t want or need it, then adopt it only if they decide it’s in line with their values.

Generally, these days, “our default is set to say ‘yes’ to new things,” Kelly notes, whereas for the Amish “the default is set to ‘no’”. Thus cars don’t make the cut, because they encourage people to wander far away, instead of building community close to home. But laptops and smartphones are fine, for some Amish, in certain workplace contexts – though never at home – because the benefits are deemed to outweigh the downsides.

12

I’m not going to argue that we should adopt Amish values, which are largely illiberal, let alone copy their system for determining which technologies are allowed, which essentially means doing whatever the bishops decide. But I agree with Cal Newport, who highlighted Kelly’s work on his blog the other day: isn’t it alarming that the basic Amish logic – adopt a new technology only if it helps you do what you deem important – feels so alien to us? “The Amish are clear about what they value,” he writes, “and new technologies are evaluated by their impact on these values.”

It’s not rocket science. Yet most of us are deeply enmeshed in the opposite: we end up gradually adopting new things simply because they’re there.

To implement Newport’s philosophy, you might take an inventory of the tech you use and evaluate each item for its real usefulness, working on the assumption that if something can’t justify itself, it’s out. I’ve started that process: I left a bunch of social networks I was barely on, and deleted all but 30 (!) apps from my phone, including email. Yes, it’s only a start. On the other hand, I don’t own a car, so I’m already Amish-ish in that respect. Time to start shopping for a horse and cart.

HOW COME?

Third base action The American view of sex tends to be more prude than what we are used to in Finland. Hence, instead of bluntly talking about making out, it is common to use baseball terminology such as first base, second base and so on as a euphemism to refer to different steps in a sexual relationship.

PART II

Next up, you will find two short extracts from Amish Romance novels. Read the extracts, then in pairs decide what happens next. Remember to stay true to Amish values in your continuation of the story.

Katie Lapp only knew the Amish ways, but when she discovers a satin infant gown in her parents' attic, her hidden past devastates the community she has always called home.

All her life she has longed for the forbidden things, but will her dreams come at a price too dear to pay?

Why would Katie Lapp's mother, a plain and simple Amishwoman who embraces the Old Ways, hide a beautiful satin baby dress in the attic?

The staggering answer comes on the eve of Katie's wedding to widower Bishop John, throwing her life – present and future – into confusion.

Here is another extract, showing you just how much romance is acceptable in the Amish Romance novels:

“The longer he stood so close to her, the stronger the need to kiss her lips became. But he was afraid she might not appreciate that move.”

Note Pad

Work in pairs and write two similar, yet very different, texts on living with the Amish.

Student A You are an “English” teenager who was invited to stay with an Amish family over the summer. Write a diary entry in which you reflect upon daily life with the Amish. At what time do you have to get up? What do you do during the day/in your spare time? What is it like not to be able to use your phone or the internet? Are you struggling to adapt to their everyday life?

Student B

UNIT 1 – FEEL FREE

Are the Amish right about new technology? Text 1

You are an Amish teenager who lives with an “English” family for the summer, as you are on your Rumspringa. The teenagers in the family ask you to write a guest blog post, on their lifestyle blog, about what it is like for you to share their life and live like they do, with technology, cars etc. What do you do every day? How much time do you spend on social media and streaming services? Do you miss home? Do you feel out of place in the home of this family?

NEWPORT’S PHILOSOPHY AND MINIMALISM

A

In order to understand Newport’s philosophy, you need to understand some key words.

Define the following words:

minimalism

.....................................................................................................

digital minimalism

.....................................................................................................

hoarding

.....................................................................................................

decluttering

.....................................................................................................

B

What are the core principles of Newport’s philosophy of digital minimalism? Go online and find out.

C

Take a look at your own smartphone and think about what your room at home looks like. Which apps and things are unnecessary in your daily life? Would it be difficult to declutter your room and phone?

Do you really use all the apps and all the things in your room? Why do you think minimalism, the cleaning methods of Mari Kondo, and capsule wardrobes have suddenly become so very popular in our society?

Why now and not 10 years ago?

D

Write a letter to the editor where you share your thoughts about decluttering and living a minimalist lifestyle. Use examples from the Amish way of life in your text.
