Parshas Shlach: The spies acted the way they did because they were
afraid of losing everything they had, had for the past while. They said "it is a land which swallows up those who live there - when the Jews move there, they will be "swallowed up" by physicality and their spiritual life will suffer. Some people say the same thing about technology - it will "swallow us up" distracting us from the truth. To this Yehoshua and Kalev both responded - "G-d is with us, do not fear" G-d wants us to work WITH the world not to stay away from it to make it a place where HE can live in. (Although a small percentage can isolate themselves its not a general recommendation) So you could basically say we are in charge of Maintenance which were given tools to use, not to let them rust.
