Add an LCD monitor to it, and it's just like mine. Amazing foresight.

Having worked with Microsft and Logitech mice for years, that big old Pontiac style steering wheel is looking pretty good to me...

I get the TV glued to the wall, and the "teletype interface". I can even imagine all the gauges, but WHAT'S WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ???

A frickin' steering wheel? Steering right into the 21st century (or into the "blue screen of death").

If that screen is actually blue in a color photo, they would have been 1 step closer...

Is that a steering wheel attached to the side there? For driving on the information highway, I presume...

Back in those days of early computing, you had to wear a coat and tie to even get near a computer.

My money is on this being a modern photo-shop picture. For one thing, the steering wheel is obviously pasted in. And why on earth would they put it there? and a console TV stuck to the wall? Nah.
But the kicker: the teletype/printer/keyboard thingy is obviously at least a decade younger than 1954.
This is a joke, hoax, or whatever you want to call it.

I hate to break it to you, but that photo is a HOAX - check snopes.com
The big printer was added to the photo (look closely). The truth is that photo is of a prototype operators panel for our nuclear sub fleet.
Hat to "burst yer bubble", but that's the story.

I used to have a book "Giant Machines that Think" by Edmund Berkeley written in 1949. I sold it on eBay a few years back. There was one paragraph I saved as it was so prophetic:
"We can even imagine what new machinery for handling information may some day become: a small pocket instrument that we carry around with us, talking to it whenever we need to, and either storing information in it or receiving information from it."
