It is my opinion that God didn't have anything to do with it.
The people surrounding the Tower of Babel spoke the same language. Which is another way of saying they were of the same mind. This is where the power came from. If you can get all the people to focus on the same 'concern', it is amazing what they can do.
However, someone had to issue the 'concern' to focus on. Someone had to decide what to use the power for.
That great a power corrupts absolutely, as they say.
Eventually, those who coveted that power destroyed the Tower and those who held the reins of that power.
The people then split into their various 'groups' and journeyed to new lands to try and establish their own 'towers'.
Yesterday we called the 'tower' the MSM. Today the 'tower' is the cellphone.

The reference:
Genesis 11:6-8 King James Version (KJV)
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
