They don't watch T.V--They don't go to movies--and they don't read newspapers
I think you need to stop getting your information from television and movies and get out in the real world. While some may live this lifestyle it's nowhere near the norm across the board. Depends entirely on the community. Some Mennonites shun technology and the outside world while others have more relaxed views on it. To make that generalization about them shows a lack of knowledge on the topic.

Moderate Mennonites include the largest denominations, the Mennonite Brethren and the Mennonite Church. In most forms of worship and practice they differ very little from other Protestant congregations. There is no special form of dress and no restrictions on use of technology.

The Holdeman mennonites do not believe that the use of modern technology is sin in itself. Old Order Mennonites cover many distinct groups. Some groups use horse and buggies for transportation and speak German while others drive cars and speak English. Although this group (Automobile Old Order Mennonites) began using cars in 1927, the cars were required to be plain and painted black. The largest group of Automobile Old Orders are still known today as "Black Bumper" Mennonites because some members still paint their chrome bumpers black. Mennonite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
