Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that comes up with five basic human needs. One being physiological needs which involve things such as food, water, rest, things that are needed for basic survival. Second is safety needs which involve things such as a shelter. Third would be Purpose, love, and belonging which is the emotional part of the basic needs. Fourth would be the self esteem needs which can be described as the desire for recognition. Finally the fifth need is self actualization which is self belief and the realization of your own potential. Now to relate Maslow’s hierarchy to the digital world. Basic access to the internet could apply the the first need seeing as that’s the base level experience with the digital world, just accessing it. Firewalls, MFA, other security protocols and devices can be applied to the safety need as I think it is a direct parallel. Connecting with friends, family, and other loved ones is a good example of the third need as you can stay connected and share messages and memories. For the fourth need I think the best example of self esteem needs would be maybe content creating or sharing ideas on a platform like youtube. For the fifth need I think the best parallel to realizing your potential would be maybe online courses where you can challenge yourself and try to learn something new.
