Will tech really die?

[T-oddity]

Interesting thread, regardless of collapse being quick or slow knowledge will persist for some considerable time, peoples priorities will change to meeting their most basic needs so things like smart phones and I pads will become things of the past.
We humans can be a very ingenious lot when we need to be, necessity being the mother of all invention, it is surprising what we can come up with, I have a little experience of this being an ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer who spent a little time as part of a reclamation unit and have carried out battle field repair, that is putting vehicles and a equipment back into use that would otherwise be written off when parts are unavailable using on the whole basic hand tools and a fair smattering of knowledge and experience.
Knowledge and experience is the key, and if you don't have it yourself there is a good chance that some one in your local community has, particularly older folk, weather its to do with food production, animal husbandry or electronics there is a lot of knowledge kicking around out there and it is a recourse just like anything else.
