Pets is a creature kept for companionship and enjoyment and while this term is currently reserved for animals, I believe that we may soon see people having virtual pets. There are already many games/programs which allow you to have a virtual aquarium or to take care of a creature like tamagotchi. What current games miss is the lack of sufficient intelligence of in-game creatures such as real dogs or other alive pets have. Dogs may not seem that smart for people who never had a dog, but I am sure that dog owners know what I am talking about. Sometimes dogs can surprise with their intelligence and this is something what artificial intelligence needs. Will it be an easy task? I don’t think so, but we have a lot of time to develop such technology.
