What you do lose is people with archaic technical skills, even if there isn't a lot of reel to reel tape readers around. For example, there are very few people who can build grand buildings like Notre Dame with wood, but plenty who can throw up a metal WalMart building.
I work construction and modern construction is designed around low cost, rapid completion with unskilled labor. It's much more efficient, but definitely not sustainable
