If there would be massive EMP that fried all chips around me, I would be for short while somewhat useless. Most of what I've done is in software, I could not build computer from electronic parts, not even full adder from memory. Maybe I could read some schematics, but most measurement devices use chips as well, it would very difficult. I think preparation should be skills, useful in any environment.
