Beg to differ. We have millions of engineers with extremely relevant skill sets to these problems. If all of electronics was destroyed tomorrow, by next week you'd have a metric shit ton of people learning steam engine technology and how to build/work with analog systems. There would be a lot of growing pains and a lot of death, but it wouldn't be like starting in the year 800 all over again.
