If the caption is to be believed, this was a vision of the future from 1971:

Now, I know it's a typewriter, but look at the keyboard. It's an ergo board. In 1971. On a typewriter.

Also, hot pants.

What you can't see it, or you mean the link to the image? Awesome BTW. Once again proves how crazy the 1970s were.

It's a link to someone's G+ post. I just edited it to point somewhere else, maybe you can see it now.

The way I see it, it was a rather realistic vision.

Those people who designed that chair know next to nothing of what a real secretary has to do:
Spoiler:
- receiving telephone calls
- leading people into the office
- cooking coffee
- typing a letter, once in a while
- sitting on the lap of her boss, while he is dictating
- telling the wife of her boss, he will be late
- having sex with her boss on the sofa
:oops:

Reminds me of one of the many great lines from the original version of the movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still":

"That man they call the secretary isn't at all. My mom's a real secretary."
