1984 was near the beginning of the technology revolution, and ibm had just introduced it's first portable pc. Robots were replacing people on assembly lines and science fiction movies like "The Terminator" ruled the big screen. I think this song reflects the anxiety and in some cases, fear, that many people felt about the unknown frontier that technology was presenting to their ordinary lives. Of course, I was partying my a* off in 1984 and don't remember too much.
