I never signed up for this
But I somehow waited in line
I said I wouldn’t go back
But I’m here time after time

When a tweet, no longer comes from a bird.
A message, no longer written in words.
A picture, determines your current worth.
A swipe, is not for payments against earns.
Your world, no longer restricted to earth.
Your voice, can control your universe.
Games, without company, a box.
Books, used to be written, forgot.
Love was in letters, not characters.
Eyes looked straight, not down.
Communication, in touch were sound.
Reactions, were not button frowns.
Food shared, not delivered.
Noise surrounded, not muted.
Hands shaken, not email awaken.
The world was claimed, but not hidden.
An automated world,
not an automated me.

We count cells by manual methods,
Using the counting chamber,
Plating & colony forming unit count.
We let them be counted automatedly,
Using electrical resistance,
Flow cytometry & image analysis.
Then there is this indirect method too,
Using spectrophotometry we count,
Or even by the impedance microbiology.
