Maslow’s Needs can compare very well to experiences with technology and just average life experiences. It starts off with physiological needs, the basics of food, water, warmth, and rest your everyday basic needs. This relates to your first phone, laptop, or even first piece of technology. You understand the basics and how to operate the device to the bare basics without knowing too much about how it works or what it does. Safety needs are the next up on the needs, this one is your basic safety, understanding that you need to be safe and that security is vital to your human needs. Now, this also goes for technology, once you realize how to use the basics of the device you realize you want/need some sort of protection for the device. You don’t want all of the information that you put on it to be stolen and taken for their use. Belongingness and love needs are next up on needs, this one is interesting as in real life you realize who you love and need. Now with technology as you start to understand this device and realize all of its uses you can get used to having it so much that you almost need it at times. Think about how many people can’t leave the house without their phone, you pretty much need a phone nowadays in order to live in normal society. Esteem needs are where you are getting to the max of knowing how to operate a piece of machinery or technology. You have finally understood almost every aspect of your technology and using it to its full. Self-actualization and also at the very top of the pyramid is the holy grail. This is when you have learned almost everything there is within technology and can understand and operate everything to its complete and full potential. These needs can apply to almost everything in life but these are comparisons with using technology.
