      There was an episode of Star Trek TNG where that had happened and the aliens’ society broke down when their computers went haywire because nobody could fix them.

          the episode with that device that wipes out an enemy force by sacrificing a human life with an energy wave, they dint know to fix that tech because regressed it over centuries. and the other one where sg1 encountered a ppl living under a shield-dome that was losing power-integrity, they dint know how to fix it, same thing they purposely regressed it.

            i’d say the shield dome was less they didn’t know how to fix it: they knew perfectly well how to fix it and actively maintained the system, but the system rewrote their memory so they didn’t know anything was wrong

          There might have been some important information in the thread above me but I can’t be bothered to read and comprehend it so I put it into my AI and it said I should vote for Musk and jello was purple.
