A look at how people in one North Carolina town used the Internet during a single week in 2001. A rundown of the Internet’s impact on the families of this community offers an intimate look at the way being online is changing America. Among the highlights: Several families have set up Internet-based businesses out of their homes; one woman decided to have a hysterectomy and made other lifestyle changes because of the information she found online; the local cooperative extension agent receives pictures of strange bugs as e-mail attachments and advises residents how to combat them.
