A Giant Has Departed

Arthur C. Clarke died today at age 90. Even if you don't care for science fiction, you should honor him as the man who, in 1945, conceived of and published the idea of telecommunications satellites in geosynchonous orbits, the foundation of modern telecommunications.

If you do care for science fiction, then you know why he was a giant.

RIP.
He was way ahead of his time and had a fantastic imagination.
Thankfully generations to come will be able to enjoy his works.
