:) Assuming such an invention ever came to be, I imagine we'd be able to communicate primitively with dogs, and maybe cats. Probably more with whales, dolphins, and primates. And maybe, just maybe, we would be able to communicate with the lowest of life forms: politicians. I don't know if we'd want to understand what they're saying, though.

Yes but every answer will lead to more questions

Would it help me understand my darling, dear husband?

That is an interesting invention: I can't wait 'til we start talking to the birds and the bees instead of talking about the birds and the bees.

It's possible, if they have the capability to express higher concepts.

I suppose we would be able to communicate with any thing that communicates as well.

That would be pretty cool. I wish I could ask my cat why she insists on laying on the kitchen counter where I don't want her to lay. Little bastard.

I think so and also with plants.

But the only thing the dogs can say is where is the next meal and did you smell that butt down the road yet!

Here's the translation of my dog's thoughts: Doh! Doh! Doh! sniff? Food! Doh! Doh! Food! sniff... sniff... Doh! Gotta pee Gotta pee. Doh! Doh! In other words, I think you'd find the "thoughts" of animals and insects rather uninteresting.
