"Just hours before Clarke's death, and remarkably serendipitous, a massive gamma-ray burst (GRB) reached Earth. Known as GRB 080319B, the burst set a new record as the farthest object that could been seen from Earth with the naked eye.^[60] Occurring about 7.5 billion years ago and taking the light that long to reach Earth is rough in equality to half the time since the Big Bang.^[60] It was suggested by Larry Sessions...that the burst be named "the Clarke Event".

A few days before he died, he had reviewed the manuscript of his final work, The Last Theorem, on which he had collaborated by e-mail with his contemporary Frederik Pohl.^[61] The book was published after Clarke's death.^[62] Clarke was buried in Colombo in traditional Sri Lankan fashion on 22 March."

"In the May 1970 issue of Popular Science magazine, Arthur C. Clarke predicted that satellites would someday "bring the accumulated knowledge of the world to your fingertips" using a console that would combine the functionality of the photocopier, telephone, television and a small computer, allowing data transfer and video conferencing around the globe."

"With the role of the network reduced to the bare minimum, it became possible to join almost any networks together, no matter what their characteristics were, thereby solving Kahn's initial problem. DARPA agreed to fund development of prototype software, and after several years of work, the first demonstration of a gateway between the Packet Radio network in the SF Bay area and the ARPANET was conducted by the Stanford Research Institute. On November 22, 1977 a three network demonstration was conducted including the ARPANET, the SRI's Packet Radio Van on the Packet Radio Network and the Atlantic Packet Satellite network."
