Over time we select diverse collections of household things. These “things” are important since we rely on them to make our everyday lives purposeful and meaningful. The diverse belongings are integral to our daily routines and practices. They often go beyond their intended design to be adapted to serve new purposes like a fruit bowl near the door for keys, an armchair to place your purse, a mirror with a grocery list tucked into the frame. These belongings are vital to coordinating, organizing, and sharing in our home. They also find personal, historical and habitual uses that are not designed for efficiency or convenience. It is important that these belongings are simple, flexible, and easily appropriated by us for new uses to serve our precise, unique needs and desires. Given the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), digital technologies are increasingly becoming a part of our homes. However, the complexity, rigid functionality, and device-like designs of these technologies strongly limit our ability to customize and adapt them to fit our needs.

随着时间的推移，我们选择了各种家居用品。这些“东西”很重要，因为我们依赖它们让我们的日常生活变得有目的和有意义。多样化的物品是我们日常生活和实践中不可或缺的一部分。它们往往超越了预期的设计，被改装成新的用途，比如门旁的水果碗放钥匙，扶手椅放钱包，镜框里塞着杂货清单的镜子。这些物品对我们家的协调、组织和分享至关重要。他们还发现，个人的、历史的和习惯性的使用不是为了效率或便利而设计的。重要的是，这些物品简单、灵活，很容易被我们挪用于新用途，以满足我们精确的、独特的需求和欲望。鉴于物联网(IoT)的出现，数字技术正日益成为我们家庭的一部分。然而，这些技术的复杂性、僵化的功能和类似设备的设计强烈地限制了我们定制和调整它们以满足我们的需求的能力。
