There are five levels in Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs, and with my digital experience as a twenty-year-old, I can see how it helps with my growth as a person. For physiological needs, when I am extremely busy and need to get groceries but don\u2019t have time to go and shop, I schedule a pickup order so I can go pick up everything. I could just stop on the way home for less than ten minutes to get all the groceries I needed instead of shopping for over an hour. For safety needs, I rely heavily on SMS authentication to log into my banking app. Even if someone knew my password, I get a text message sent to me each time there is a login with a code that I have to input for the app to log in. For belongingness and love, I have social media, which I use to keep in touch with my family members that I can\u2019t see often. I can see my little cousins\u2019 accomplishments through Facebook posts or see that a family member just had a new baby. For esteem needs, I also use social media. With one of my creative hobbies, I upload images of what I\u2019ve worked on, and my followers can interact and seeing comments and likes and words of encouragement helps increase my self-esteem. When it comes to self-actualization, I use different online platforms like Khan Academy or edX to learn things I am passionate about, and I can further my interests this way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
