The other few things possible in next few years for past few years are:
1. Fusion
2. Self driving cars.
3. Ubiquitous, generally available and stable 8192 bit quantum computers.
4. High energy density grid scale batteries.
Just few more "this maybe the... what could revolutionize..." articles away.
What we forget is that it is in these people's business interest (executives making such statements) to state the exaggerated version of a future which drives the investors of all levels to allocate funds under FOMO which pumps up share price which is the end goal anyway, through a breakthrough or without.
EDIT: Merged another comment to keep all in one place.
