Join the Space Needle on its quest to archive the moments and memorabilia that reflect the people and culture of today. The Seattle landmark is launching a nationwide search for items — including predictions for the future and submissions from the public via a contest — that will be sealed and locked away until the tower’s 100th anniversary on April 21, 2062!

- The Time Capsule was introduced at Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, 2008 and released on February 29, 2008, with pricing announced at US$ 299 (£199) for the 500 GB version and US$499 (£329) for the 1 TB version. It was the first wireless network-attached storage device combined with a wireless gateway router made by Apple Inc.

FIRST SUBMITTED ITEM SELECTED
“I would like to include a few pieces of unfinished miniature pottery that I have made, a small weaved belt and a letter about why they are important to my tribe Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. I want people in 43 years to know that pottery and weaving are still important to the people in my tribe. The cultural significance of these items are not only for religious purposes, but every day activities as well. They remind me of home and will offer a glimpse in the life of one “modern-day Native” who hopes the traditions of pottery making and belt weaving will be passed on to her children and future generations.”

The AirPort Time Capsule is designed to partner seamlessly with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard or later to protect your data. They work together so that after the initial backup, only the files you've changed are backed up automatically, wirelessly and in the background. Since Time Machine continuously makes a copy of everything on your Mac, as well as saves multiple versions, you can easily access and restore previous versions of a single file, a folder, or even your entire Mac. And with the six antennas and ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi, backing up to AirPort Time Capsule is up to 50 percent faster than its predecessor
