what does "nominal" mean??

Have we "Lost" knowledge?

Have we "Lost" knowledge?
I read a story a while back where an aircraft engineer said that if we lost use of computers, nobody would be able to design and build a large commercial aircraft. The days of rooms full of engineers wielding sliderules are a thing of the past. Good or bad? I think if something happened that...- L Webb
