[Brazelton] Sir Clive Sinclair

Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor and entrepreneur who was instrumental in bringing home computers to the masses, has died at the age of 81.

His daughter, Belinda, said he died at home in London on Thursday morning after a long illness. Sinclair invented the pocket calculator but was best known for popularising the home computer, bringing it to British high-street stores at relatively affordable prices. (The Guardian)
 
And of course he was building EV's in the 1980's! If the C5 had had a better launch inspiring improvements to battery technology the way Sir Clive had hoped we could have seen Sinclair Vehicles occupying the same space Tesla currently does.
