A 20 year time span is a different game. Looking back, one can usually see many things widely used today which they could not have envisioned two decades prior. But not much happens over a 5 year span that's really startling. Over the shorter time frame most innovation follows a more predictable path. I can't think of anything today that I would consider an impossible or even improbably change from only 5 years ago. Technology has gotten incrementally better, but there's nothing really stunning.
