The world's best known writer of science fiction, Sir Arthur C Clarke was the first to propose satellite communications in 1945. One of his short stories inspired the World Wide Web, while another was later expanded to make the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which he co-wrote with director Stanley Kubrick. He has lived in Sri Lanka since 1956.Read full transcript of the video at http://www.tveap.org/news/0712...

I didn't know he passed away, what a free mind and great man. Thank you so much for opening mine a little bit.

What an amazing man, what an amazing mind. I just learned he passed. At the same time, I heard about this farewell video. Thank you for posting it, and thank you to Mr. Clarke for all his wonderful words and ideas.

I had no idea he died! And I just did a report on him in like February! I am shocked and really sad. Jeez, I had no idea...this sucks. Now the only survivor from the great trio of minds is Hawking, now that Sagan and Clarke are dead. Who knows when Hawking will drop dead?
