Tech Talks: Commercialization of the Holiday Season

Last week, we talked about how technology had changed the tradition of food during the Thanksgiving holiday. This week, we will be focusing upon the commercializations of the holiday season.

We also talk about family traditions such as watching football or the Macy’s Day Parade. How has technology changed the way we look at Thanksgiving?
