Online shopping goes into high gear

Online shopping keeps getting more and more popular. It has been reported that people are shopping online during work, and 59% of buying has come from work computers this month. In addition, the Monday after Thanksgiving has been named Cyber Monday because the large amount of people who shop online after the door buster sales the day after Thanksgiving. Online sales are expected to keep increasing, and stores are aware of the change in buying habits. Do you think that with the great sum of people buying online that the stores will reduce sales? In fact, do you think that most stores will have fewer employees this season than normally because of the expected online buying? Will this factor be a problem for families who rely on part time jobs around the holidays to purchase gifts? How will this affect the economy?
