It's a bit unsettling to think...

... that Dreyfuss' adult Gordie was closer in 1986 to the 1959 events from his childhood than we are now to the 1980's.
Especially for those of us who were children then. We're getting old! 
Presumably the adult audience in the 80's would have looked back on the 50's childhood depicted with some nostalgia, but really - apart from pretty superficial stuff like styles of music, dress, car design, etc - there wasn't any major change in the lives of children between those two eras.
Whereas nowadays technological advancements, social changes, and increased concern about children's safety have had led to marked differences between our experience of childhood and that of today, making our sense of distance and separation from those days feel all the greater.

I feel it is going in a bad direction too. I wish the aliens would abduct me and take me away. They probably don't even want to come near our terrible planet though.

Nah don't be so negative. It's just another day on human's evolutionary fever curve. It can rise for very long times though.
You can search Google's archive of century old newspapers. and they were full with articles on how feeding the growing world population could be made possible (when it only was like 1.7 bil) We often forget about it, but a hundred years ago in Europe people actually starved to death. While today there is mass and overproduction of food. You can look it up, today we destroy nearly half of it. And back then smart guys came up with bad or weird ideas. This was only ten or fifteen years before the invention of artificial fertilizers. Which changed everything. Like birth control pill changed everything. Like the internet changed everything. And we might have zero knowledge now, but right this minute somewhere a little boy or girl is born and he or she will invent nuclear fusion or prove Heisenberg wrong.
