The National Geographic Channel has unearthed a time capsule (时光宝盒)? buried by late Apple chairman and co-founder Steve Jobs thirty years ago.

???? The time capsule was buried in Aspen .Colorado .in 1983, shortly after Jobs attended the International Design Conference being held in that city. Organizers called the device the Aspen Time Tube and contributed items like Rubik's cubes(魔方) and some iconic music. Jobs added his own items to the capsule ,including the " Lisa"? ( also known as an "Apple" )"mouse he used for his presentation at the conference. '

??? Younger readers may not recognize the name but the Lisa Apple mouse was one of the first commercial mice released to consumers. The mouse was specially designed for the Apple? Lisa computer. It's also the first personal computer to offer users a graphical user interface(图形用户界面)

??? Initially ,the plan was to dig up the time capsule in the year2000,but organizers forgot its exact location. Recently .they brought in researchers working with the National Geographic Channel show Diggers to find the device. Eventually they came across the 13-foot-long.1. 5-foot-diameter tube. inside they found a lot of 1980s artifacts(人工制品）that are still being catalogued.

??? “When the end came off .literally things just poured out .”noted Diggers host Tim Saylor "There must be literally thousands of things in there.”

??? “They had the foresight to put a bunch of stuff in? plastic bags." Saylor said .“I could see at least a dozen plastic bags and other items. But I know for sure there got to be photographs in there. People had hand-written things on the back of the photographs ,so there will be some really interesting things inside.”
