Little could they imagine that the dream would be for a "Standing" desk. with, maybe, a treadmill.
Either that woman's ears are not in the usual place or the headphones won't fit anyone.

Curved keyboard? Seems awkward at first glance.
If you put your hands in a typist's position they naturally sit at an angle to each other, not parallel. You can get many ergonomic keyboards like that today
I would add that the modern keyboard operators don't tend to show quite as much leg

Looks like a Dr. Durand Durand design
Ear Buds/Air Pods do (when you aren't using them) but the keyboard looks like it has a printer - a printer won't go in your pocket!

Ahhh, yes. I can't wear ear pods/buds though. They constantly fall out.
That's an electronic word processor. Think of it as a bridge (missing link) between a typewriter and computer. The one I used, you typed out your work, checked it in the digital display (as you would on a PC), and then laser printed the document and any copies. Today, paperless as things are, you don't need the printer and digitally, wirelessly, mail/deliver the document. Printers are for the casual user are unneeded and only required by certain specialized groups (e.g., legal documents) that do not trust the changeability of digital documents.
