Sometimes we forget that God remembers us and remembers His promises to us. I wonder if Noah felt forgotten on the ark. 40 days is a long time for something to happen, and after 40 days of rain you had to think that Noah was a longing for dry land.
Genesis 8 starts out with, "And the Lord remembered Noah..." The waters began to recede and that land began to dry. After a few months, Noah and his family were able to get out of the ark with all the animals. Then God made a promise to never flood the earth again.
He also made other promises, like letting us eat animals, but also gave us commands, like fill the earth with people. Unfortunately, people are always rebelling against God's commands, so in Genesis 11 we see them still, as one, trying to build a tower to heaven. God knew how foolish this was, so He confused our languages.
It's what happens when we forget God's commands and promises.
