In some Amish households this is changing. There are some that have gotten a phone or a car. Others still go strictly by the book. I remember reading years ago about a cocaine ring in Lancaster PA ran by the Amish.

Sometimes the outside world provides a strong magnet to breaking the ideals they set out to live by.
