This year is the 15th anniversary of “Cyber Monday,”  which began in 2005 as a marketing gimmick from Shop.com. Back then it was relatively common to have broadband at work but not at home, so people shopped at the office using the boss’s computer network. Cyber Monday was an extension of sorts from that much older tradition, “Black

Friday,” when people crowded into stores in search of bargains.
