He cautioned about the technology outstripping morality.
In light of today's world, a very chilling and accurate view.
According to the narrator, he wanted this as his epethet(sp):
"Damn you all...I told you so." (He died in 1946, so he saw his vision come true)

He wrote a book called "The Shape of Things to Come" which was also made into a movie. It foretold WWII, only had each side battering the other back to barbarian subsistence living. The movie is worth watching.
