Amish people know exactly what's going on, and are happy to rip you off. The fact is, "amish made" as a whole is a big scam, with few exceptions. They know yuppie tourists will pay anything for "amish made" goods. They can use internet and just about any other technology if it's for the purpose of business, otherwise they'd never stand a chance in todays world.
The truss plant I worked in had an Amish guy doing the marketing, and the CAD/Engineering.
Oh, and they also treat animals like absolute shit (again, few exceptions). Animal abuse, inbreeding, overbreeding, etc. Drive through any Amish area around spring time and you'll see a "free puppies, unknown mixed breed" sign on at least half the houses you go by.
