Week 4 – Journal Entry

            Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has five levels: Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Belonging Needs, Esteem Needs, and Self-actualization. At this point and time, I would say access to the internet is a physiological need. So much of what I am required to do in life needs the internet, even in cases where I wish it didn’t. Antivirus software and two factor authentication fulfill the safety need on technology, protecting my accounts from getting hacked. Belonging needs is a bit harder to give a example of. I assume the friends that I have made on the web from all over the world that I would not have met otherwise fulfill this need? I don’t think I have anything examples to fill out the Esteem Needs, and Self-actualization parts. I am not super active on social media and don’t generally do anything that can be considered a “accomplishment” on there anyways, and I certainly haven’t met any self-actualization need yet.
