Research for the pyramid




I gave students a list of objects such as computer, television, ipod, phone, video games, transport, camera, etc. and asked them to write down in order what they think is the most important to them. The phone was on top of the list for 11 people out of 22. Interestingly, three people even put the ipod down as their most important object.

I was surprised that transport was considered to some people as less important than things such as video games. Only two people considered it as the most important object. This shows that people are now attached to technology and they would prefer to stay home rather than go out.

The graphs shown above are based on the results I gathered. I wanted to use them to create my own new version of the 'Hierarchy of Needs' pyramid based on technological needs.
