Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can be applied in my life experiences in a variety of ways. On a physiologic level, technology helps me in my wellbeing and wellness through activity and sleep tracking tools, for example, fitness trackers. On a security level, security tools such as two-step verification and social platform settings for privacy safeguard my information. On a level of belonging and love, social platforms and messaging tools such as WhatsApp and Instagram enable me to have contact with family and my social network. On an esteem level, platforms such as YouTube and Instagram enable me to post about my experiences, gain feedback, and develop confidence through positive feedback. On a level of self-actualization, technology use for creating and accessing information and educational experiences enables me to develop and expand creatively and personally.
