Physiological needs: If I am out at a concert but not familiar with the area, and my phone loses connection it would cause me to panic. If I don’t have phone connection, how will I be able to know my route home or be able to call someone to pick me up? Not everyone memorizes phone numbers so this would cause my heart to beat fast and not be able to focus due to anxiety.

Safety needs: Present technology has many of features in a case where you are lost or kidnapped. iPhones have the “Share my location” feature for individuals that may need security. For example, if I am out with friends, I always share my location with my fiancé just in case of an emergency or I may need him to pick me up.

Belongingness and love needs: Social media is a form of technology that help me stay connect with my friends including friends from the past. I personally use Facebook which helps me connect with friends from all over the world. I sometimes get friend request from people I have known in middle school and high school.

Esteem needs: With using technology in present time some individuals have been bullied via social media. Personally, I have not been bullied but I have seen it happen to people numerous times which these actions can cause self esteem issues.

Self-actualization: The ability to become the best version of yourself, to achieve these needs a person must first satisfy the preceding needs. Technology plays a role in this because people can promote themselves or their brand to help people understand them. For example, I use technology to study things about practicing acceptance learning to accept what comes, as it comes. Understanding that we all hold different values and desires.
