The theory<br>suggests that once our needs are met, we climb up the hierarchy of needs. The<br>hierarchy is broken down into 5 categories: psychological, safety, belongingness and<br>love, esteem, and self-actualization. In today\u2019s digital world, this hierarchy is relevant<br>today more than ever before. The need to stay connected or online has become a<br>fundamental part of our daily lives and I can see how my digital experience is relative to<br>Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs. I have the psychological need to check my social media<br>apps every day and I freak out if my internet connection is not working. I get annoyed if<br>my phone\u2019s lagging or buffering. My safety needs are met when I browse the internet<br>knowing my VPN is on and securely protecting my privacy or knowing I can check my<br>banking apps without worrying that someone is going to steal all my money. I have my<br>belongingness, and love needs fulfilled when I see how many followers I have on my<br>Instagram and LinkedIn knowing that I can reach out to them and have a conversation<br>anytime. I have my esteem needs fulfilled when I post something on LinkedIn or<br>Instagram and receive a lot of likes and comments supporting me. Makes me feel<br>validated and gives me a sense of love and accomplishment. Lastly, I feel my self-<br>actualization needs realized when I utilize websites like Cengage and GitHub to<br>continue learning new skills and expand my knowledge. I use personal growth apps like<br>Calm to help with my personal growth and mental well-being. I find it interesting how our<br>needs have evolved and shows how addicted our generation is to technology.<br>Technology is something that can be positive but also can be negative. Overall, I<br>believe that Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs is more relevant in today\u2019s world than ever<br>before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology.
