Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, in order, is as follows: Physiological needs, Safety and Security, Love and Belonging, Self-Esteem. and Self Actualization. To relate this to technology, my physiological needs would be my hardware, my laptop, video games, anything physical. Safety and security is the steps that I take to ensure my technology stays in tact, be it strong passwords or knowledge of what kinds of programs look suspicious. Love and belonging is easy, I have made tons of friends over the internet. I just recently flew out of town to finally meet some guys I’ve known online for years in person. Self-Esteem is a tricky one, but I will admit that I can be pretty prideful sometimes which can leave me prone to internet arguments. Self actualization is something that I will need to work on, but is likely something creative, like streaming.
