+== Project Idea ==
+=== A social network for microorganisms ===
+We use technology to connect each other. In the last years social media platforms emerged and gained popularity.
+Is the use of technology limited to humans or is it possible to develop and apply such a network to different worlds.
+The main approach would be to set one culture of a microorganism and connect it to other microorganisms though technology.
+One organism functions as an influencer that takes over control over the lives of other organisms. This could be the temperature ,supply of light or even food.
+There may be a feedback loop. For example if the organisms that get influenced give a positive feedback (e.g. food supply) to the organism that influences them.
+=== Technical solutions ===
+The position and or growing of the physarum can be detected by light sensors underneath the dish. This could be even designed as a maze build out of transparent tubing.
+To get stable and reliable readings, it is necessary to have a constant lightsource above.
+The data generated by the sensors gets processed by a microcontroller or by using simple electronics.
