People will always need 'things' and therefore there will be a long line of processes required to manufacture the raw materials required.
The industrial revolution gathered many of these smaller processes together with a common source of power to increase speed and productivity.
I can't see that we could go backwards and start up a society where these 'cottage' industries could produce the volume of 'things' required by world citizens.
