In friendship, communication is an important ingredient. Luckily for Dogs and humans, their friendship prospered even with only a crude form of communication between them—mostly, body language. But, can this relationship be strengthened with better communication? And can technology lend a helping hand? I’m not sure, but I do hope so.
I have just seen a dog training video where obedience training was done with the aid of an electronic collar that is controlled remotely. This collar sends impulses to the dog supposedly to aid in grabbing their attention. According to the video, it is not a cruel device as the collar merely causes a slight “weird sensation” to the dog which will vanish once they start to pay attention to their handler.
If instead of an electrical impulse, what if it would be an ultra sonic wave instead. And what if we could learn the way dogs think so that the wave could be synchronized to their way of thinking in a manner that we can transmit thoughts to them? Oh, this is all so science fiction-ey but it might be a reality in the future. After all, the satellite was once a fiction of science.
