Of course the Back to the Future example is extreme; one does not have to travel through time to be an anachronism. Many of our grandparents have become anachronisms as they struggle to keep up with the times. We tend to view elderly people as being "old-fashioned," our way of saying that they are chronologically out of place. Perhaps all of us are anachronisms and we are the ones that are out of place. Maybe we are "new-fashioned," and our grandparents are the ones who are chronologically in place. Of course, they did think that the beehive was a good hairdo. That cut will never find its place in time!
