cybermarkets
Digital shopping platforms
Cybermarkets are online marketplaces where goods and services are bought and sold electronically.
The term emerged in the early days of e-commerce, when the cyber- prefix signaled anything internet-related.
It now sounds dated, replaced by more specific terms like online marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, or simply shopping online: Back in 1998, analysts predicted cybermarkets would revolutionize retail.
