Lets face it. We live in a world of never ending technology change. Seems like almost everyone has a smart phone. If you do have an iPhone or Droid (like I do) their are apps that allow you to monitor your home security system. Checking to see if you closed the garage door, put the security on or if a door or window is still open. The app is called "Alarm.com" and it's free, so why wouldn't you want this. Here's some more information:

The eponymous app gives you full control over your system, allowing you to arm or disarm it from just about anywhere. That could come in mighty handy when you're halfway to the airport and realize you forgot to arm the sucker (or just can't remember if you did).
