Tolkien

It seems evident to me that the Elves, being arguably Tolkiens ideal creatures (or hobbits, but elves fit this discussion better) would show an unwillingness to advance technologically.
Tolkien was avidly against the industrial revolutions that scarred the beloved countryside he called his home. He despised advancement at the expense of nature.
Tolien was against such technological advancements that formed the twentieth century, and his ideal characters display this marvelously.
