 Maslow’s hierarchy of needs are physiological needs, safety needs, love/ belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Each of those needs can relate back to technology somehow.

Physiological needs are the needs such as food,water, and sleep. I have used technology like doordash to supply food and water.  There are also apps that can help manage your  sleep schedule. Safety needs in the cyber world are used to protect our privacy and online security. We use duo mobile as two-factor authentication. Love/ belongingness needs refer to social interaction and relationships. Lots of social media apps play a huge role in this in today’s society. I use instagram and facebook to maintain family relationships and friendships online. Esteem needs involve confidence and self esteem. I would say apps like tiktok and YouTube can be used to showcase talents and many types of content to show confidence and to gain recognition. Lastly, self-actualization is basically the need to fulfill potential, engage in personal development, and pursue creativity. There are so many self help sites and apps to help people grow and become a better them.
