What I have is not enough to survive, but it's a start.

Kaczynski argues about that, saying it's easier to destroy something rather than building.
It took roughly a thousand years for Europe to rediscover a number of technologies what ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans knew. One of the most remarkable were hydraulic mining, forgotten after the fall of Rome and only rediscovered in the 18th century.

What makes you think we will easily remember how to build a computer, especially when you need rare, hard to obtain resources in order to build most things? Your cellphone or computer is not a miracle of technological discovery, it's rather a miracle of global resources trading. The Asians that assemble these tech need a container full of raw materials being carried by a gargantuan cargo ship in order to build these things, and you need another huge ship cargo to have these products arriving at your door or local store.
The more complex a system gets, more it depends on trade routes, cheap labor, ability to obtain resources from a distant source etc.
