Review Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs successfully demonstrates the layered levels of needs and fulfillment. The influence of technology on the basic need level has been communication. It is almost impossible to connect with the world without using technology, this communication being social media, messages, and the ability to call. Psychologically, technology has affected my behavior and my way of thinking. I’ve grown up with computer and television access, which has given me entertainment that allowed me to discover my likes and dislikes, satisfying my psychological needs. In terms of self-fulfillment, technology aids my growth in higher education. My college experience would be nothing without technology. My laptop allows me to work on my coursework and gives me additional resources so I can study for my classes.
