Yes and let's not forget those memories stored in data vaults underground or somewhat magnetically shielded. Mine is just an exercise for the imagination rather than a technically correct scenario. But to get all these memories working again you need a power grid, to operate which you need all those memories unless isolating sections of the grid and powering them with renewables somewhat. In a no-more-computers-unless-we-rebuild-them scenario we would have to rush to both get to save all our knowledge somewhere and to preserve the "cold" storage we already have such as written word.
