I think you’re basically correct. There’s no more clear illustration of how modern technology negatively affects birth rates than the Amish. I believe they have the highest birth rates in the country.
Not a good data point, they also have religious reasons for it. It also doesn’t tell us which technologies are shifting the balance, if any (industrialisation? Addictive entertainment? Condoms?).
