Review Maslow’s Hierrachy 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.
- Physiological needs: These are basic needs, I would equate this to knowing the very basics of using a computer. Turning it on, logging in and out of an account, gaining access to the internet, etc.
- Safety needs: This would probably be the ability to stay safe with technology. This would be things like having a strong and secure password, staying away from email and pop up scams and overall being safe while you are online.
- Belongingness and love needs: I would compare this to having social relationships while on the internet This could be anything from being on social medias and interacting with people to having relationships with people that can allow you to deflect ideas off of.
- Esteem needs: I would say that this is related to improving on the aspect of technology. This would be something like figuring out how to code and create programs and actually solving problems with what programs you have designed.
- Self-Actualization needs: Finally this would likely be equivalent to the most accomplished you can be on the technology aspect. This means having a career in cybersecurity or IT and being able to make money based off of your knowledge.
