What is Black Friday?

The infamous shopping day has its origin in the United States. In the 60s in Philadelphia, the police called the Friday after Thanksgiving “Black Friday” because shoppers overwhelmed the city, malls, streets, buses and trains.

What is Cyber Monday?

The Monday after “Black Friday,” tech stores and e-commerce businesses began Cyber Monday, offering discounts on their devices and services. It’s often expanded to include the weekend – named “Cyber Weekend” accordingly.
