Wouldn’t reflectors work and be low-to-no technology to allow Amish to keep to their tradition? I’m thinking similar material to diamond grade street signs.

The Amish actually do use technology, but they can't use it unless there's no other alternative, for example word processing.

Also, they tend to use Linux.

Also, they tend to use Linux.

They use Linux From Scratch and build from source. Bring it on, OSS world! Total control.
