As technology becomes more and more a part of our lives, I think that it will start to take place in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I think that in some ways it already has a place on the pyramid. A lot of people find their self-identity through the web, there are groups of people who find validation online and find their identity from groups on the web. Another place it has for some people is how it can fulfil the need for belonging. If love, affection, and friendship are all vital needs for people then by communication through technology the need is met.
