These are DOS machines with 5¼-inch floppy drives. The one in the foreground is some kind of IBM PC/AT and probably employs an Intel 80286 CPU. The screen might be a CGA screen. The displayed stuff looks white (phosphor) to me. I think it's a WordPerfect screen. Does this screen look like XY Write or Microsoft Word? There's a glare shield over the cathode ray tube face. There's a glare from something in spite of the attenuator.

The person in the background is using what looks like an AT&T personal computer, manufactured by Olivetti.

Networks were sometimes proprietary. I worked with 2.5 megabits per second Arcnet about this time. Newer installations had 10Base2 10 megabits per second ethernet. Both of these ran over 50-ohm chnaracteristic impeadance coaxial cable.

Very brief English Wikipedia entry: "Uchida Kakichi (内田嘉吉, 18 November 1866 – 3 January 1933) was the 9th Governor-General of Taiwan from 6 September 1923 to September 1924. Prior to assuming the office of Governor-General, Uchida also served as Chief of Home Affairs under Governors-General Sakuma Samata and Ando Sadami, the second highest position in the colonial government."
