Mission statement:

I intend to investigate how the imperatives of the information society and ICT are being translated, when passed along with technology to localised communities, connecting these to a global context on global terms.
My aim is to problematise the construction of these communities as under resourced areas, targeted for ICT development to investigate how the information society has an effect on this aspect
I intend to investigate whether there are indications that ICTs in a local community does contribute to the de-marginalisation of previously marginalised groups, as proposed by the South African government.
I would like to investigate the various understandings of ICT among the actors involved, in order to find out whether current strategies live up to the targets and visions, as stated by the South African government.
