Maslow’s hierarchy of needs sets a precedent for what each individual needs to survive and be happy. The first layer, physiological needs, can be completed with modern technology in hospitals such as ventilators. The second layer, safety and security, is easiest completed with modern security systems that can prevent harm to you. The middle layer, love and belonging, cannot be actualized through technology. The fourth layer, self-esteem, can be achieved with programs like photoshop, photo filters, and social media. The final layer in the hierarchy is self-actualization, which the modern internet/social media can assist with.
