Journal Entry Week 4

My experiences with technology have related to all five levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. First is my physiological needs, this has been met with my ability to be able to order food and have it delivered to my house. Next is my need for safety, the ring camera is the best way to explain this since I can watch my house while I am at work and see who comes up to my door. The sense of belonging is accomplished with apps like facetime and social media, since they give me the ability to connect with people and talk to friends and family. Video games are a fantastic way of feeling accomplished allowing me to meet my esteem needs, this is because video games have accomplishments, as well as an objective that must be completed to win the game. Finally, self-actualization has been achieved, with my ability to take college courses online helping me achieve my goals and potential.
