I think most people would be fine. We like to think that we couldn't survive without modern conveniences but don't forget, our recent ancestors did it for tens of thousands of years. In terms of a human species, we spent most if not all of our species existence for about 60,000 years living with nothing but our own intelligence. We've only had modern amenities and technology for less than a hundred years. So in terms of losing everything right now in our history .... if that should happen ... I think we'd be fine. Not happy, not comfortable, not easy but we'd be fine.
