Week 4 Journal

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is like a ladder for what humans need. We are able to take this hierarchy of needs and relate it to the digital world. It would start with our physiological needs being things like power and good WiFi. Another item would be a working device that suits our needs. When you move up the ladder into safety needs, this relates to things such as keeping personal information safe. This involves using solutions such as two-factor authentication. Also educating yourself in common phishing schemes will help keep you up to date on being safe. Moving up the ladder again to belongingness, this happens through things such as likes, comments, learning new skills, etc. At the top of the ladder is about unleashing your full potential. This would be through working on creative projects or projects that allow you to grow as a person. Esteem needs is also given through this by feeling of accomplishment from working on these projects.
