Komarov’s Digital Perception founded in 2010 and located in Kempton Park, South Africa has its primary focus on the dissemination of education and science in Africa. This has translated into the provision of scholarships covering medicine, civil engineering and astronomy being allocated. Women’s emancipation, human rights and the right to privacy in all forms of communication are areas which are separate projects in themselves though in essence they often overlap and are part of the primary aim. The projects are arrived at by the use of technological approaches to existing low cost technology (often old but usable and reliable) which can be modified, upgraded and adapted. The approach taken is that it is not necessary to use expensive imported technology to solve many of the problems besetting Africa and the rest of the so called 3rd world. All too often Africans are treated unfairly by receiving the minimal share of any finance derived from the products and services they produce and maintain for local and global companies. Partnerships are based on trust and mutual respect and to that end, by means of transparency; all receive an equitable share no matter how large or small they may be. Understanding the social and economic realities the Africans face, many on a daily struggle for survival allows for the allocation of the tools needed by them to move forward with confidence while retaining their independence and dignity. One of the foremost ways this is achieved is by the creation of Networks so that the users have a forum to elicit the passage of scientific and educational information pertinent to survival across racial and cultural boundaries. Tools are designed for the people of Africa bearing in mind the existing technology available and that the lowest cost option must be utilized without sacrificing effectiveness and the ease of maintenance/repair. Median incomes are raised through education and the application of existing scientific knowledge to free people from the tyranny of wage slavery and continual indebtedness. Projects include Internet TV and Radio stations to provide both informational and educational programming while staying politically neutral to reach all the sectors of society.
