The problem isn't knowledge, it's the supply chain, as Leonard suggests. I can design a (simple) computer from first principles, but that's not very useful if I don't have the materials to build it or the electricity to run it.There's so much high tech junk made today that could be repurposed and reused that I think it would take multiple near extinction level events over multiple decades to really screw things up to the point where we couldn't recover, though. That is subject to change with time, as devices are made more disposable, less durable, and less maintainable every year in the name of continuous economic growth.</blockquote>
