Will tech really die?

[Devonian]

I'm sided with S13 on this, technology will continue to be used and developed in ways we cannot imaging, even after a total collapse and any die off.

You only have to look programmes like scrapheap challenge to see what can cobbled together.

Natural resources won't matter, we won't be extracting them for possibly centuries.....

But....there will be literally millions of cars, bikes, washing machines, garden machinery, power tools and all sorts of other stuff just lying around waiting to be canabilised, and even if the body and casings rot away, the important mechanical parts will generally remain.

Also don't discount how many people already have important tech put aside and protected in faraday cages etc, and I'm not only talking about preppers. Many businesses also protect their data and key infrastructure/hardware from the risk of EMP and massive surge currents etc.

Also for any kind of event to affect the 'entire world' it would have to be pretty spectacular, such as full all out global nuclear war! In which case we'd have a heck of a lot more to worry about.....
