Review Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs applies to my digital experience everyday. First we have the “Physiological” need, which in my case would be having my phone and laptop with me. Second, I have my “safety” needs, such as virus protection , vpn’s, and secure networks. These two are my basic needs that if I don’t have them, I may get anxious. Social media covers the “Belongingness and love” needs by giving connections through followers and posts. “Esteem” needs to fall under the same umbrella with social media. Esteem is judged off positive and negative feedback from social media. Lastly, the “self-actualization” need would be relevant to me in the aspect of me wanting to keep learning and growing online. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is still very relevant in our current modern society.
