I just never realized it. But the dwemer always have their hands on an extremely powerful object. The elder scroll and the black book. Two objects that can most likely destroy the world. What are your guys thoughts on the dwemer? Do you believe they were powerful? I just never knew of the kind of power that the dwemer had. Maybe they were the reason to their extinction/disappearance?

Advanced and dangerous technology? Sudden disappearance of an entire race? There can only be one explanation... Aliens...

Actually I have never really thought about the dwemer having all of that. To me it almost seems like Beth is now just using them as the holders of anything powerful that you need.

They created Skyrimnet and were destroyed by their own machines when it went live.

Of course it has something to do with their disappearance. Have you played Morrowind? If you haven't I'll suggest you to do so if you have urge to know more about the dwemer. The elder scroll and black book aren't the only powerful items they had - they had also the heart of Lorkhan. They were working with it when they disappeared and it's confirmed it had something to do with the disappearance. I won't spoil anything more because if you are going to play Morrowind you'll find answers on there.

The Dwemer attempted and may have suceeded in escaping Nirn (and at least thier method left Nirn intact, unlike the Thalmor method) by using the Heart of Lorkhan/Shor/Shezzar to power a vessel called Numidium. Numidium was Big Stompy Robot #1.
Numidium was used to create alternate realities that happened at the exact same time and broke the Dragon in Daggerfell, The Main Villian in Morrowind was building Akulakhan (another Big Stompy Robot) to crush the Septims, and other things that may spoil Morrowind.
In Skyrim We were given another look at the Dwemer as a Race and thier obsessions with powerful Artifacts that do not have a connection to linear time and the Kalpic cycles.
It all fits together nicely as to why they did what they did and why certain Persons get extermely aggravated when talk about them coming back into the Game as the "Dwemer" is mentioned.
