[QUOTE="Dalaran1991, post: 959605, member: 6381"] Bumping this thread because I've been thinking a lot about human knowledge. One thing that strike me is, in the event of another "fall" (apocalypse, huge world war, whatever), just how likely it is for most if not all the technology we have today to be suddenly lost? A vast majority of guide and manual we have now is on the net, and let's suppose the net is gone, humans are scattered into small bands (so typically your vanilla apoc scenario) Which one among us here knows how to jury-rig a radio? A phone line? A computer? A TV? Let alone building them from the ground up. Again, let's suppose that you only have 1 radio / computer left and if you mess it up you are done with the tech. We take our computer for granted, but if you look at it another way, a screen that lights up on commands, playing images and sounds is freaking magic to me. Sure, most of us here know the general theory about how it works. But take a computer all apart, and I mean taking even the smallest part on the motherboard apart, how many of us can reassemble it without a manual?
