DESCRIPTION
What can a 70 year-old psychology paper teach us about an invention that’s only 20 years old? In a whistle-stop tour of the internet, Ben plots the history of the web against Maslow's seminal Hierarchy of Needs, proposing it might just be nearing the point of actualising its full potential.
