    I can not quote sources, *but i seem to remember* that the Amish and Menonites (sp), were quite into cell phones.
    They actually fit into the whole idealogy of technology that these two groups have, in that technology should be the slave of community. In this mode of thought it is a distinct advantage that cell phones are able to be turned off, they do not needlessly interupt personal life, as a 'normal' telephone does, and such like.

    Okay, heres that source I was talking about
