MIT’s Technology Review reflects on The Cell-Phone Scare and finds it irrational: “Eventually the anxiety-of-the-decade will fade, to be replaced in our minds and our newspapers by

a more up-to-date apprehension. It would be nice to think that eventually we’ll outgrow the cycle,

but I have to defer here to my late mother, who was a lay expert on anxiety. The time to really

worry, she used to say, is when things seem so good you have nothing to worry about.”
