We take a lot of very complicated systems that seem easy for granted but if you look closely we can see that they are a mesh of very complicated systems. I'm of the mind that there will be a time when we won't be able to access old information because of encryption and file formats. So we'll need to recreate things we take for granted from scratch. Which in essence is a dark age except we'll be in deeper trouble than the previous dark ages. We will not have access to knowledge other societies had since all the important knowledge will be locked up in some computer system somewhere and society as we know it will slowly breakdown. I think it's only a matter time.
