Edit: let’s make a list for fun.

  • Food

  • Shelter

  • Water

  • Internet access

  • email (?)

    With even the most basic needs right at the bottom of the hierarchy requiring money in order to obtain these days, and money being next to impossible to acquire and use without technology, an awful lot of technology does indeed belong in the bottom layer of the hierarchy of needs. The only way to make technology genuinely only used for the higher levels and not a basic need would be to ensure that everybody has food, water, shelter, and rest without needing any money whatsoever.
