I know you said you aren't a Star Trek fan, but there have been episodes sort of about this (at least one that I recall).  I'm paraphrasing here, but I remember an episode of The Next Generation where they visited a planet where the people were using a computer to guide their actions.  The computer had something that wasn't working anymore, and since the computer had been created generations before, the people currently living there didn't know how to repair it, as apparently that knowledge had been lost since the later generations didn't bother to study it well enough.
