I hope we don’t lose all these wonderful things that are so complicated and expensive when society crashes. I hope somehow they can be preserved.
We may be entering into a new ‘Dark Age’ that may last a thousand years..................
Your comment made be remember a Twilight Zone episode where a larger computer was hidden in a cave and its output [daily advice] allowed a small community of survivors of a nuclear war to survive.
A couple of outsiders came into town to claim they were in charge now of the towen which was inside their territory. They beat up the town leader after he resisted, told them they did not belong there and needed to leave. The antagonists in good party demonikraps fashion divided the people, fearful of beatings, against their wise leader, destroyed the computer and told the people they could eat the canned food that the leader warned (on advice of computer) was radioactive and would kill them. They all gorged themselves with the food ... and only the leader survived.
Don't worry! There will be a special order of monks and scribes tasked with preserving this valuable information!
They will weave vast tapestries memorializing the discovery of this remarkable exoplanet - illuminated with cherubim and seraphim, of course.
