Oh… it would be kinda cool though: the modern world set in middle earth. Maybe add a little steam punk dwarven tech and some elves with electric doodads. I could definitely see an elven technological schism with one traditional group and another consisting of hipsters with the latest innovations.
Ah but maybe a small obscure group of elves decided that they could rule middle earth by their sheer superiority and therefore stayed behind. Such arrogance would make them perfect as tech overlord types.

But the elves left Middle Earth during the third age!
