In 1983, Steve Jobs buried a time capsule during the International Design Conference in Aspen, where he was giving a tech talk. The 13-foot capsule was dubbed the Aspen Time Tube, and was to be recovered in the year 2000.

Unfortunately, the landscape topology shifted, and the darned thing got lost. But thanks to the National Geographic’s TV show “Diggers,” excavators were finally able to unearth the time tube and marvel at the wealth of 80s memorabilia inside.

Including one of the very first Apple computer mouses. Harry Teague, who was part of the original team that buried the capsule, teamed up with “Diggers” archeologist Michael Durkin to find it.

Inside was a mouse from Apple’s first mass-marketed Lisa computer, among other 80s relics like a Rubiks Cube, an eight-track recording of The Moody Blues, a June 1983 copy of Vogue Magazine, and a six-pack of Balantine beer.

Steve Jobs has “foretold” the iPad in 1983. He said:

In 1983, a young Steve Jobs said in a tech talk at the International Design Conference in Aspen: "We will find a way to put (a computer) in a shoebox and sell it for $2,500, and finally, we’ll find a way to put it in a book."

He always was a visionary. The Aspen Time Tube episode of "Diggers" is being scheduled to air in early 2014.

Jobs and other attendees filled the 30-foot-long time capsule with all sorts of stuff

Despite being known as the “Steve Jobs Time Capsule,” there were many other contributors to the capsule, then known as the Aspen Time Tube.

Among them there’s an original Rubik’s Cube, a six pack of Ballantine Ale, some name tags, and a Moody Blues 8-track tape. I’m not sure what the deal is with all the aluminum foil pie tins though.
