Psychological Needs: It’s unfortunate that I say this but people like me that are in my generation essentially survive off of our phones. I have tried going days without using my phone but always end up failing because of how attached I am to it. The Internet as well is becoming part of the Food, Water, Shelter, and clothing category of needs especially in this day and age.

Safety and Security: For me I have never really had issues with this tier on the internet, however I do know and heard that many people have had issues and safety concerns because of the internet. Many popular influencers get stalked and followed because of how popular they are and by certain posts they do revealing their location.

Love and Belonging: I do think that technology gives me a closer connection with family and friends and a large part of that is being able to communicate with them consistently from wherever I am at. Whether it be now where I’m in college in a different city where I can’t see my friends or parents from back home or family members that live in different parts of the world.

Self-Esteem: As I am a very thick headed person I don’t really pay much mind to certain things I see that could lower the self esteem of many. I know what I have to improve on that works for me and not by some random person on social media. I know many people that are more sensitive than me and often take things to heart more often than I do and it becomes a challenge for them.

Self Actualization: I am a firm believer that technology cannot have a say on this tier. I say this because you have to put all this aside to really find out who you are as a person and not let anything or anyone influence you. This may change at different parts of your life but that just comes as being a human.
