What does Steinbeck try to say about machines and their danger?

Steinbeck makes it clear that machines have the power to change anything. The power of creating new technology that will hopefully benefit humans will bring about many changes. Some of these changes might be good, and some of these changes can be bad. Steinbeck is trying to say that the development of such machines will destroy what man has created.

They can either benefit human beings, or they can cause the destruction of human beings, if they are in the wrong hands
