Ezikeal Yoder was born in a basic Amish community some where in Pennsylvania with Amish parents that absolutely hated the Amish life style. In this town of quiltville Ezikeals parents Jacob and Olga treated him with very un-strict Amish rules they each had a little bit of different views for there son. Jacob wanted him to be live outside of the Amish community. Olga always wanted him to have a better education than work ethic. Both Jacob and Olga did agreed on wanting there son Ezikeal to make his own choices as he grew up. It was no secret to anyone in quiltville that the Yoder family disliked there lifestyle. They really couldn't leave this way of life though because Jacob and Olga knew they wouldn't make it very long in the age of all the new technology. Ezikeal's parents always used to tell little Ezikeal that "we don't want you spend your whole life exactly like an Amish, we want you to decide by your self as long as you follow the very basic ways of the Amish." As you can already tell ezikeal would never have a normal life with out much rejection.

As Ezikeal grew older he was sent to public schools unlike the rest of the Amish children for the sake of ezikial's parents wanted to expose him to the outside world. The only reason the Yoder couple had the money to send there young son Ezikeal to public schools is because his mother is ranked the 6 th best quilt-maker in the world which makes them also the richest in quilttown.

Now that Ezikial was one of the first Amish people to ever go out on there own he quickly realizes the definition of technology.

While growing up he had never used real technology such as a computer because he did follow the basic ways of the Amish. Knowing that using these things of technology is very against his beliefs he decides one day to follow what his parents told him which was to make up his own mind. With making up his own mind he quickly goes out and buys a computer and hooks up the internet. Soon after hooking up the internet he becomes extremely addicted and soon forgets that he is Amish.
