Just a joke man. Relax.

Of course what you say is true, but all those societal elements were evolved
TO. If today's tech was to disappear tomorrow, we'd suddenly have a
regression to a level far below what we had in the early 20th. Until we can
re-establish the "outmoded" technologies and technological base (like steam
power) that were cutting edge in say, 1920.
