Cyber Monday Scores a Touchdown
Rather like our hometown New England Patriots, holiday consumers dropped back
and lofted a digital pass into the end zone for a big score.
Early
reports indicate that Cyber Monday was on track to set a record for online
purchases.
Cyber Monday is so named because of its reputation as the biggest online shopping
day of the year. In the days before widespread broadband access, workers would
come back from the Thanksgiving holiday and use their employers' fast Internet
access to begin online shopping for the holidays.
