Review Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology. Give specific examples of how your digital experiences relate to each level of need.

Technology helps me with my physiological needs as I sometimes order food from my phone. For safety needs, I have a Ring doorbell camera, allowing me to make sure my home is safe anywhere I am, as I’m allowed to check the camera feed anywhere I am from my phone. For belongingness and love needs, I’ve met many people online, some of whom are better friends to me than the people I met in real life. My esteem needs are fulfilled by online schooling. When I take classes online, passing them makes me feel good as I’ve not only passed a course and gotten past it, but I’ve also gained knowledge. Lastly, for self-actualization needs, I sometimes use the Calm app to meditate and bring myself to enlightenment and peace I’m not able to reach without the instruction and guidance the app gives me.
