The 4th season of Buffy gives a god view on Magic vs Tech
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

The two are the same. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Also note that the elves in TLotR don't really understand the word "magic." They have no concept that they are using it, just as we have no concept that we are using advanced technology whenever we strap on a watch or put on a shirt. To a caveman, nylon would seem magical, as would electricity, plastic, and metal tools.
