有许多响亮而有力的声音推动物联网（IoT）成为改变我们生活许多方面的催化剂。想想医疗保健、能源、交通、金融、娱乐和家庭--各行各业的数十亿件日常物品都连接到互联网上生成数据，以便我们能够对生活的许多方面做出更快、更有效的决策。但这种技术发展完全是良性的吗？尽管物联网设备具有积极的潜力，但它们的设计、制造和处置方式仍与数十年来大多数其他“非连接”消费产品的方式相同，这是不可持续的。此外，围绕物联网的讨论很少认识到或回应这个日益严重的问题。我们希望这本小册子能够启动这一重要对话，并帮助那些创造未来物联网产品和服务的人考虑可持续发展的新方法。此外，我们建议将物联网对象重新描述为spimes 1，以提供一种实现可持续物联网设备设计的替代方法。Spimes是一种潜在的互联网连接对象，与当今的物联网设备不同，Spimes的设计可以使它们在整个生命周期中得到可持续的管理，从最初的设计和生产，到在生命周期结束时回收和重复使用其组件。
There are numerous loud and powerful voices promoting the Internet of Things (IoT) as a catalyst for changing many aspects of our lives for the better. Think healthcare, energy, transport, finance, entertainment and in the home – billions of everyday objects across all sorts of sectors are being connected to the Internet to generate data so that we can make quicker and more efficient decisions about many facets of our lives. But is this technological development completely benign? Despite all their positive potential, IoT devices are still being designed, manufactured and disposed of in the same manner that most other ‘non-connected’ consumer products have been for decades – unsustainably. Furthermore, little of the discourse around the IoT recognises or responds to this growing issue. We hope this Little Book will kickstart this important conversation and help those creating future IoT products and services to consider new approaches that have sustainability baked-in. Further, we propose the re-characterising of IoT objects as spimes1 to provide an alternative approach for enabling sustainable IoT device design. Spimes are a potential class of internet-connected objects which, unlike present day IoT devices, would be designed such that they can be managed sustainably throughout their entire lifecycle, from their initial design and production, to having their components recycled and reused at the end of their life.
