Review Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and explain how each level relates to your experiences with technology.
Give specific examples of how your digital experiences relate to each level of need.
The first need, Physiological Needs, which are the basic for human survival are food, water, sleep, and shelter. This doesn’t really go with technology that much but with experience in technology you can help fund these needs. The 2nd need, Safety Needs, with my personal experience this will give me confidence in staying employed and adapting to all the changes in the world. The 3rd need, Love and Belonging, through a technological standpoint this could help me strengthen my connection with people since I will already have the confidence to do so. The 4th need, Esteem Needs, I feel like I’m pretty good with computers on the physical side and alright in the program/software side so this would help my esteem as I would be confident in this field and give me pride and respect. The last need, Self-Actualization, is a different one because you basically learn through pushing yourself which is what I mainly do when I’m learning new technology that game out like GPUs or CPUs and which other parts are compatible with them.
