Will tech really die?

[bigpaul]

All previous civilisations had one thing in common, that their level of technology was simple enough for people to be in control of their daily needs if that civilisation collapsed, today we are in a situation that we are so specialised that it is virtually impossible to realise our level of technology without the infrastructure to support it, we are so interconnected that the whole world would be affected if the systems collapsed, we have built a monumental house of cards held together by worldwide connections that are very fragile to disruption, the earth only has resources for an advanced technological civilisation to be a one time event, mother nature rarely give you 2 bites of the cherry.
