.....By design.

The ability to replicate a million copies of Wikipedia is based on device architectures that are not required to go through someone's Cloud.

Survival skills may be quite different than what you think they are.

Here are a couple examples.

A) ability to build a wood-gas engine for a vehicle
B) ability to make a battery
C) create a manual control for a device which had an electronic control
D) device means of communication, short and long distances

Survival seems heavy on electrical and computer engineering, doesn't it?

You just gave 'them' the list of the things 'they' need to focus on so we, the people, never get knowledge of... Wink

I'm sure you can extend the "They tried to take our {guns} away" list.

Just be sure to use the capitalized "They."

Guns... 3D printing Files... 'Problematic' Books... 'Illegal' manifestos... 'Forbidden' archaeology... The right to speak your mind openly and the right to share it online... The right to be wrong.

A lot of things 'They' don't like.

Sure. But my point was that a recovery from such an apocalypse would not be a return to huge mills crushing trees to make paper, and it's distribution to cities and then to users. It would be simpler and easier to return to tablets, computers and keyboards. The recovery would not have the intermediate steps which we had historically say from 1500AD to the present.

Another poster mentioned that MAKING fire wasn't the difficulty, it was the utilizations of fire in processes that had to be mastered. That's a very good point.
