OK but on the other hand, if you break down outside of IBM or an internet cafe, maybe they'll be able to come out and get you going!
Instead of needing a toolbox, you just need a laptop.. and an internet connection to download the software (although maybe illegally)! Hell you will probably be able to connect to it with bluetooth and your mobile phone.. the latest ones are as powerful as an original Pentium computer. Anyone using this forum is probably computer literate enough to do computer diagnosis too...
Then of course, there will still be plenty of moving parts and stuff for us to fix. Maybe there won't be any real mechanics left and we'll all get paid handsomely for changing bushings and taking engines apart!
