If you read the long letter at the front of the Silmarillion (might be only in second addition), it says that the elves were dedicated not to creation, but sub-creation, meaning they only did things that were harmonious with the creations of the Valar already placed in Ea. Cars, computers, guns, all those things we are considering modern would not and do not exist peacefully with nature.
