A two decades old vision of information systems is reviewed here by its author to establish the groundwork for a re-vision. The original vision, and its prediction, is evaluated, and used as the basis for a re-vision and a new prediction. Some implications of the new prediction, and some impressions gained while arriving at it, are reviewed.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Conference or Workshop Item (Paper)</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Information, data, computing history, information systems, data systems</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/370601.html">370000 Studies in Human Society &gt; 370600 History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine &gt; 370601 History and Philosophy of Science and Technology</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/280100.html">280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences &gt; 280100 Information Systems</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/291699.html">290000 Engineering and Technology &gt; 291600 Computer Hardware &gt; 291699 Computer Hardware not elsewhere classified</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1238</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mr Neville Holmes</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">28 Jun 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1238;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=1238">item control page</a></p>
