I think it's more complicated than choosing not to adopt modern technology. It's like saying poor people choose to continue being poor. There's an element of truth to the statement but there's far more at play than 'choice'. It's not like the kid in that picture was offered a microwave and hot pockets or a short life of pain and starvation and then said "Yeah, why I don't I just go ahead and do that second thing."
