What might a more Sustainable Internet of Things look like?
The Fixing the Future Collective together created this zine for the ICT4S Conference 2024. This zine presents the different themes and interdisciplinary spaces the Fixing the Future project explores, from law and legislation, how IoT is designed, to More-than-Human futures of repair.
This Zine was produced by the members of the Fixing the Future collective: Christopher Boniface, Teresa Castle-Green, Paul Coulton, Dimitrios Darzentas, Nidhi Dubey, Susan Lechelt, Joseph Lindley, Violet Owen, Namrata Primlani, Neelima Sailaja, Michael Stead, Melissa Terras and Lachlan Urquhart.
‘Fixing the Future: The Right to Repair and Equal-IoT’ is a 2-year, £1.25 million research project funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) investigating how the lack of repairability in the consumer Internet of Things (IoT) will adversely impact equity, inclusion, and sustainability in the digital economy.
The international ICT4S conference brings together leading researchers in ICT for Sustainability with government and industry representatives, including decision-makers with an interest in using ICT for sustainability, researchers focusing on ICT effects on sustainability and developers of sustainable ICT systems or applications.
