Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Examples
The Physiological Needs Level In the modern world, having access to gadgets and the internet has become as necessary as having food and water.Having a smartphone, for example, allows people to connect online for communication, information, and even food delivery. The Safety Needs Level Our safety is greatly enhanced by technology in a number of ways, such as firewalls, antivirus programs, and safe online transactions.Twofactor authentication (2FA), which guards against unwanted access to online accounts, is a popular example. The Love and Belongingness Needs Level People may keep up relationships and create a sense of connectedness using video conversations, messaging apps, and social media sites.For instance, Zoom enables virtual meetings, while Facebook makes it simple to stay in touch with loved ones.
