Cyberspace Article #9 - 3 year old e-shops!

Summary: Jack Neal, at the age of three years old, bought a pink convertible car for $17, 000 from eBay. Apparently his mother left her account active and Jack, being a whizz at computer as all children are, managed to click all the right buttons to get his car. The seller, amused at this, did not sell this bid through.

Impact: Technology is easy for a three year old to understand. What is the world coming to!? There are so many eBay mishaps that somehow end up on the news quite regularly. Maybe Jack wanted to take Barbie out on a date in his new pink convertible.


A perfect song for this moment would be the eBay song from Weird Al Yankovic.
