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

---

Starting at the very bottom in basic needs, when it comes to physiological needs I chose online incomes and checks because they easily give me access to be able to pay bills for water, electricity, home, etc. Helps me be able to do it in the moment and not have to worry about not paying a bill because the physical check has not arrived in time. For security needs, I have a  security system, a doorbell camera and another camera in the backyard. We also have a fire alarm system which helps keep my family safe. Moving onto Psychological needs, I’d say social media and phones help to have and keep friendships with people who live far away, or with family which lands on the category of belongingness and love needs. When it comes to esteem needs Id say my laptop plays a role in it since it allows me to get all my work done no matter where I am and save time which gives me a feeling of accomplishment. Lastly, with self-fulfillment needs, when it comes to achieving my full potential I want to say the internet overall, access to the internet helps me get more information about whether it be my major, any classes, or hobby I’m interested in without having to leave my house or make appointments. Technology usually plays  a big role in my life due to not having the chance or need to go outside if I can have it all on my phone or pc.
