I've wondered if that was a metaphor for previous societal collapses.
It's also clear that previous civilizations have had technologies that would be considered advanced for them, or possibly to us.
I've speculated on the concept of a massive time loop, tied into the concept as the earth as a soul prison. That the "prophets" somehow get a peek into other incarnations to try to shift humanity into "passing the test" so to speak. If humanity passes, we can move onto bigger and better without the DS. If we fail then a new loop is restarted.
Anyway, yes, computers and electronics, being heavily specialized and generated in high tech operations. If there's nobody to teach anyone how to build or use techniques, then they are lost until rediscovered.
