Technology is such a great thing–I get all giddy when I see something especially futuristic. I found it particularly George Jetson when I first started learning about state-of-the-art interactive services.

Most awesome: these new technologies will allow me to control my alarm system from my iPhone (I could also be on a BlackBerry, Android or any Internet-enabled computer). I can use the cameras in my place to peek into my place and check out what’s going on in real time. I can also watch recorded video clips, get a text or e-mail when something in particular happens–like the front door staying open for too long–and even turn it on and off remotely. How cool is that?!

I’m all about this kind of interactivity with my monitored alarm system. It gives me a sense of control over my home and, dorky as it sounds, I’d like to look in on my little dog from time to time. Monitronics offers these services from three companies:

• 2GIG’s Go!Control
• Alarm.com
• Honeywell’s Total Connect

Check them out and leave a comment letting me know what you think. You, too, can get all George Jetson.
