The more I learn about how fragile our modern IT infrastructure and economy is, it seems the Amish are building a more robust society. Maybe they'll inherit the earth after our horrendously complex web of dependencies is destroyed by war or by accident.

I hope most Amish communities can avoid the following:

1. Off-grid solar systems that eventually shutdown if they lose network connectivity.

2. Tractors and other agricultural equipment connected to the internet, likely susceptible to remote security vulnerabilities that could threaten the harvest.

3. Complex supply chains that require cloud services and network connectivity to function.
