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.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs has 5 levels in which all closely relate to my experiences with technology. First in Maslow’s Hierarchy is physiological needs, which is mostly about human survival and their basic needs. Therefore, technology cannot give those needs to me, but it has made attaining those basic needs much easier by allowing me to do online grocery shopping. Second is safety needs, and the way technology has helped me with this is through GPS and tracking apps to show my location to my family so they know where I am at, at all times. Third is Love needs and the way technology has helped me with this is by connecting me to family members through social media and video calls. Fourth is esteem needs and the way technology has helped me with this is by allowing me to post my achievements on social media and get feedback from everyone that I know. The last hierarchy is self actualization needs and technology has helped me with this is by allowing me to display the music that I have created for the world to see.
