The time capsule aspect seems like a stunt.
What seems more important is the organized gathering of formats info for 
future use.

"The current time capsule has five of today’s most common types of 
digital objects. Each is converted into formats to help preserve them 
for the long-term and stored on a range of media from punch-cards to 
paper, microfilm, floppy disc, audio tape, CD, DVD, USB and Blu Ray."
