cybershopping

Buying via internet

Cybershopping is shopping done online rather than in physical stores.

The term emerged in the 1990s as internet commerce became viable, though it now sounds dated—most people simply say online shopping or shopping on Amazon.

The cyber- prefix marks it as a product of early internet enthusiasm.
