For a decade now people have worried about a digital divide forming in America: a gap between those with the access to all the information and opportunities of internet and those without. This was an especially big issue for rural areas where getting news and media from the cities was already difficult. And many industries were packing up and moving to places where they could get high-speed DSL or T1 connections.

And while some people in the town have embraced the cyber-life, not everyone is eager for the web revolution. Producer Sanden Totten went to Windom, Minn., for this story.
