it is really the highest form of romanticism, a constant belief that things could have been better than this.

To address your question, the technologies we are creating today are so powerful, compact, and in some instances self-contained that I believe communication will stay somewhat intact as the rest of our infrastructure begins collapse. Much of the Internet will remain intact as shipping of real goods, food, building supplies, becomes more difficult.

Airplane travel will be the first thing to go.
