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.

Starting from the base, my physiological needs are met with technology through my refrigerator. A refrigerator, provides filtered, fresh, potable water and also keeps my food fresh for later consumption.

A step above the basic needs, safety needs, are met with my vehicle’s anti-theft alarm and GPS system. This allows me a sense of security.

Moving on to the first psychological needs, belonging and love are met through my cellphone. The cellphone offers me a variety of applications and services that allow me to contact friends and family.

Esteem needs are met through my cellphone as well. My cellphone technology does this by its application services like tracking schedules of events, meetings, and due dates for a variety of assignments, tests, and projects I may have.

Lastly, at the peak, self-actualization is met through technology with my dependency of my laptop. My laptop is my main liaison for education, gathering sources of information, and viewing and storing a plethora amount of data.
