Abstract

The works of few individuals have impacted such a large variety of fields as the work of Abraham Maslow. His work describing human motivation in terms of needs and the priorities assigned to those needs has been cited by over 4,000 scholarly writers in a wide variety of disciplines including psychology, management, education, and theology. Although Maslow’s work is founded on the most basic of human interactions, the recognition and fulfillment of needs, digital realities are altering human interaction patterns. Social morality and norms are still being defined for a technology that has advanced more rapidly than cultural conventions have evolved. As technology expands the varieties of human experience, how does the Internet support the individual satisfaction of needs as defined by Maslow?
