I found this Slate.com article and it changed my whole outlook on Cyber Monday. Yes, I know I just bought a ton of stuff off the internet because of all the deals flooding my email inbox. But this article decided to tell me that Cyber Monday is just a marketing ploy.
It is very logical that Cyber Monday is just marketing. Marketers noticed that in the past online sales peak the Monday after Thanksgiving, so they gave it a name and made it an event. I fell victim to the idea of Cyber Monday, and it is very eye opening to see how the origin is all because of marketing research.
