Yeah there are so many key knowledge that ordinary people just take for granted. But that's how we built up modern industries throughout the centuries.
I guess it is not realistic to ask for one generation to rebuild everything, and that's why I think we really need a lot of those "knowledge" and "tools" storage. I know many countries have such storage for wars, but are they accessible to ordinary people in case most of the population is wiped out?

Nobody knows how to build a major government money system from scratch. We've turned the Earth into a complex and delicate machine for sustaining human life. We don't know how complex or delicate.
