Well aside from food and water, I would say iron, steel (bronze perhaps not) and rocks . Perhaps we're in some weird un-named tool age. Other than tools maybe, communication would bring down civilization. If countries, cities and households were cut off, not just from the web, but from information transfer of any kind like (knowing what's going on outside your home or who's buying for what or how much should X cost to make or buy, bank transactions, radio, etc.) I think there'd be a very short time before panic overtook reason systemically. I think we could survive wiping out all electronics, with say solar flare or emp event) because it would shrink communication back down uniformly and obviously for everyone and we'd build up communities faster. If all communications though just stopped working and electronics were useless, there would possibly be be more resistance to relearning communication and hardening of lines of protection rather than communally coming together in the wake of a worldwide disaster. I think our delve into the interconnections of people has made us too fearful of being a lone man on an island and addicted to that connection. idk, interesting thoughts though.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
