Arthur C. Clarke

One of the last of the greatest Science Fiction writers has died.

= We owe him such a debt of thanks for broadening our horizons.
= If you can believe it or not? Life in the 1950s to 1960s was far more basic, than today. Computers were something only major Corporations, rented or "perhaps?" owned one. Apple and Microsoft were just a dream and Intel didn't exist.
= Computer Science didn't even become a regular degree offering till after 1970.

The movie 2001 made him an household name.
