Rebuilding? Without the existing infrastructure
(in the wilderness), how many people would be capable of
building/making ANYTHING? Other than Tony, could you make a
battery? a bulb?
I'd have to think for a bulb. I'd have plenty of time
while growing the spuds for a battery though :-)
Tungsten filaments would be tough, but carbon works fine for a short
time.
Remember, Edison did not *invent* the lightbulb, he improved it to
the point of practical manufacturability.
