Say you log in to inspect your videos religiously. It might propose the ides of having text and email notifications automatically sent to you for all surveillance events.

As a blog contributor for a home security company, October is the month the forces conspire to demand that all are reminded of the all important safety tips for Halloween. And with good reason, year after year, Halloween is the single most dangerous day for pedestrians. So while I can't just ignore the forces that be, an equally passionate voice is yelling, "Let The People Eat Cake!" or the Halloween equivalent: "Let's look at cute dogs in Halloween costumes and then eat cake... or candy."

The TV lowered from the ceiling and projected your phone calls. They had fully automated appliances with food cooked and served at the press of a button. The vacuum even ran by remote control. Lights and temperature were controlled by their voice. George said "News", and the newspaper scrolled on the "televiewer". Half a century later the Smart Home of our the space age family is quickly becoming a reality.
