Each of the stuff for which we read here people jumping and yelling "visionary!" "revolutionary!" "unforeseen breakthrough!" "brand new plan!" "disruptive improvement!", has been dealt with dozen of times in hundreds of SF novels in the last 80 years, which explored all the possible problems (problems are a more exciting matter for a novel than everything-goes-fine-and-as-planned).

But since for most of those people, SF and anticipation is limited to Star-Wars + a couple of other movies/series and super-hero block-busters, they are not aware, and all these stuff appear as genuinely unprecedented technical and sociological thought breakthrough.
