For some context, Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that describes human motivation and needs in their hierarchical structure. The five levels of hierarchy are physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology is not only a cellphone and laptop\/computer, technology can also be the stove needed to cook food, water treatment plant to provide drinkable water, or a automobile to provide transportation to the food. Digital technology that I personally use to fulfill my physiological needs is electronic financial transactions. These transactions allow me to pay for my house, food, and water. An example is that I pay my landlord, who lives around 4-5 hours away, $605 a month for a roof over my head by sending the money digitally between our banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving up a hierarchy needs level, the safety needs are technologies that provide a person with the security and safety from any and all harm. A digital technology that has protected me from attacks is my home network’s firewall. This type of technology allows for my personal information to be protected while I access the internet at the my house. I have configured my firewall to deny any access to the network that is already recognized and to report any suspicious activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving up another hierarchy needs level, belongingness and love needs, is the need to be loved by friends and family to have a sense of belonging and fulfilment. A mobile phone and my laptop are digital technologies that I use to stay in touch with my loved ones. At least once a week, I will use my cellphone to call my grandma, who lives in San Diego, to catch up with her and talk to her about how my schooling is going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esteem needs in the hierarchy of needs, is the idea of feeling a sense of accomplishments and self-worth. Many people use social media to share their life styles or their hobbies and would use the positive comments or likes on the post as a self-esteem boost. I personally use my cellphone and record my workout exercises to compare myself to past lifts from a month or so ago. When the weight or form has improved, it gives me an increase in self-worth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highest level of importance in the hierarchy of needs is self-actualization, which means the achieving of a person’s full potential. A user my use technologies to help them achieve their goals or even help them fully complete their goals. I am using a website called hack the box to teach myself about ethical hacking. I have achieved my goal of completing the starting point activities and I am almost fully knowledge in the use of NMAP within Kali Linux. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
