This week Americana plugs in and connects with a look at technology and the internet in the US

Americans of all ages, from coast to coast, explain the role of the web in their lives.

Presenter Stephen Evans crunches the numbers with Susannah Fox of The Pew Research Centre's Internet and American Life Project and technology guru Megan McCarthy. They discuss what it is that Americans explore, accomplish and build when they spend hours online.

Americana steps behind the curtain of anonymity and talks with expert hacker Daniel Kaminsky about the state of US cyber security.

And a conversation with writer Hal Crowther about how the time Americans spend wired to the web may be dumbing down the nation.
