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.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs relates to my experiences with technology through multiple ways. Physiological needs by having health tracking apps to help monitor my physical well-being. Safety needs by having my security system app on my device as well as having my location tracked if I’m in any danger. Love and Belonging needs through being able to call my friends and family and being a part of online communities. Esteem needs in the ways of connecting to online professionals and building networks. Lastly through Self-actualization, tech has helped me learn new skills and techniques both mental and physical that I have used daily in my life. All this can be done on popular apps like TikTok, YouTube and on Blogs and websites.
