Easy John. Don't beat up on old Rory.
You'd have to narrow it down to 98% of the industry, including ADT
(non-Government sectors), and every National.
It's an industry wide dilemma. Few can see the potential, even fewer can
comprehend the potential. This industry has the ability to make everything
easier, faster, more reliable, false alarm free, and cheaper (cost
effective). Unfortunately, it's going to take another decade of 80's
technology to realize it, as the technology passes most bye. Most of the
"Old Dawgs" with their "it isn't broke, don't fix it" mentality just aren't
paying attention. The fact of the matter is, this 80's mentality has been
broke for over thirty years, and damn near since the inception of the
Digital Dialer. Most just seem to focus on the sales numbers, not the
impact. I ask dealers/competitors/customers this question all the time...

"What's your perception on the impact the security industry has provided
over the last 30 years"

It's a question for all to answer, and highly educational.
