introduction

My name is Marina and I am a junior here at Bryn Mawr. I'm majoring in Psychology and considering a minor in English due to the high number of English classes I have taken while at Bryn Mawr. I'm from Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb right outside of Washington, D.C. and I'd say that a particular technology that has been important to my development have been subway and public transportation systems. I heavily rely on public transportation to get me around to where ever i need/want to go because I don't have a car. The subway and bus systems in my city and others have allowed me to explore and see places that, if public transportation had not existed, i maybe wouldn't have seen. I've found that public transportation here in philly isn't the best, but it is still the main mode through which I manage to explore my environment around me. There are many limitations to subway systems and bus systems. Sometimes they can be really inefficient and result in lengthy commutes, however this is just something that I have gotten used to over the years.
