The current development of [[cloud storage]] and [[streaming]] technology suggests a further reason why none of the [[literature]], [[art]], [[music]], or [[cinema]] of the antediluvian period survives. An event as violent as the Flood surely was, would have utterly destroyed the infrastructure that supports these technologies, and every byte of information they held.

Worse than the physical destruction, were the deaths of the inventors and maintainers of the technology this civilization once commanded. Johnson illustrates that point simply. His lead character, [[Astronaut]] Gary Lucas, points to his wristwatch to show his fellow astronaut how a society can lose its technology from a violent-enough event:{{cquote|I use this [wristwatch] every day. But if you asked me to make one, or even to ''tell'' you how to make one, I couldn't do it.}}After the Flood, even [[Noah]] and his sons had to begin ''all over again'' to invent things. So also did their descendants.
