Hutterites use technology.

Reputation: 101I live by a hutterite colony. They are german sepertist farmers, and they have expensive farm equipment and dandylion wine.
Their roots are in the same place as the Amish and Mennonites
EDIT: Even though they probably have $20m worth of equipment on that farm, one of the guys who left it didn't know how to turn a computer on.

Han Solo’s Favorite Beer:
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canadians during a recent appearance at Ceasers in Windsor:
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May,
You may live in Canada .
If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .
If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .
If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .
If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .
If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .
If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .
If you carry jumper cables in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .
If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .
If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .
If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .
If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
And road construction,
You may live in Canada .
If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .
If you find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada.

That list of Canadian stuff is pretty damn acurate.
I have personally experienced everything on that list in one way or another. Snow blowers been gone for awhile though.
Except for the DQ closing... I can still get my blizzard on in a blizzard.
