物或物体生成和处理用户日常活动数据的潜力，使物联网（IoT）在消费者中的普及程度达到了一个新的水平。尽管受欢迎程度稳步增长，但物联网设备的使用速度缓慢，废弃速度很快。为了在现有文献的基础上推进我们对使用和不使用这些设备的社会学过程的理解，本文提出了对489名物联网用户的调查结果。我们对开放式问题的定性分析显示，使用电子设备的动机包括控制日常活动、社会竞争优势、经济优势和习惯等。限制或停止使用的理由包括隐私问题、信息过载和不准确、因提醒未完成或失败的目标而失去动力、在满足最初的好奇心后没有兴奋感，以及在努力、时间和金钱方面的维护变得难以管理。
The potential of things or objects generating and processing data about day-to-day activities of its users has given a new level of popularity to Internet of Things (IoT) among its consumers. Even though the popularity has seen a steady increase, the use of IoT devices has been slow and abandonment rapid. To build on the existing literature and advance our understanding of the sociological processes of use and non-use of these devices, this paper presents results from the survey of 489 IoT users. Our qualitative analysis of open ended questions revealed that the motives for use include multi-functionality of devices that provide control over daily activities, social competitive edge, economic advantage, and habit. The justifications for limiting or stopping the use include privacy concerns, information overload and inaccuracy, demotivation because of the reminders about pending or failed goals, no excitement after satisfying initial curiosity, and maintenance becoming unmanageable in terms of effort, time, and money.
