A LONG time ago, about the time of Infomagic I, I wrote what I thought would be a more likely scenario if it got REALLY BAD. I'll have to dig it up (or at least a link), tomorrow if I don't have to work. Suggests that the next dark ages will have, instead of churches as the repositories and ARK's of knowledge, that the Universities with on site power/cogeneration projects or close links to hydro would become the beacons and arks.
