Smartphone, Smarthome...Very Smart!

My grandson wastes no time in commandeering my wife's smartphone to play his latest round of Angry Birds or Temple Run or whatever the latest craze is these days. My phone is not out of my hands or sight because I'm always conducting business. (Well, at least a majority of the time.)

The smartphone has created quite a lifestyle revolution in the past few years. As of 2013 there are 110 million smartphone users in America. More people access the Internet via their mobile device than PC's now. There's an app for virtually anything and everything and makes me wonder what exactly people are using apps for. Is it more convenience than control or accessibility a little of each or the other way around? Has that thought ever struck you? 

In just the past 3 years, Remote Automation has become the premier platform for home and/or business security systems. Not only are you in control, but you can now get real time updates of any security or life-threatening event via text notification and email, energy management with smart thermostats locking and unlocking your front door deadbolt, video monitoring, even turning the porch light off or on and more. Needless to say, it's put a lot of new found fun in his product!

So you too may have an app for your bank account and favorite video game. Do you think it makes sense to have an app for your most important investment as well?
