    <abstract>The theme of the Conference, "Revisioning Information Systems", is examined. 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.</abstract>
