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.
The theory of Hierarchy’s of needs suggests that as we meet our lower level needs we tend to focus on meeting our upper level needs. This is due to our constant behavior of changing our needs. At the lower level, we have the basic needs which consist of physiological needs and safety. An example of this that relates to technology can be wifi. Wifi is needed since most apps need wifi in order to function. The next level is a psychological need which consists of esteem needs and belongingness and love needs. An example of this need is Facebook and Youtube. That is because it mainly focuses on the feeling of relationship and accomplishment. At the top of the pyramid level is a self-fulfillment need. An example of this can be Snapchat or WhatsApp which focuses on the need for entertainment (creative activities).
