The Amish avoid using modern technology. The conveniences that the rest of us take for granted, such as electricity, televisions, and they travel in horse-drawn buggies. Even tractors are forbidden, and most Amish cultivate their fields with horse-drawn machinery. Some more conservative groups do not even allow the use of lights run by batteries, although New Order Amish are beginning to use items such as inline skates, cell phones, and gas barbecue grills.
