“10 Hours a Day on Screens!”: Ewan Currie on the Modern Digital Storm

"We might look back at this era and be like, 'Oh my god, people were on these things 10 hours a day!'" Ewan Currie (The Sheepdogs) and Beau discuss the long-term effects of our obsession with phones, screens, and the internet. Ewan shares his belief that future generations will look back at the mid-2020s with disbelief at our total immersion in digital spaces, noting that while it’s our current "normal," we’re likely beginning to realize just how much it’s "messing with us." Beau adds a Gen X perspective, recalling the transition from a world of "snail mail" to the early days when the internet felt like a purely "useful tool" for connection. The conversation highlights a theme of The Sheepdogs' new album, Keep Out of the Storm: the search for human connection and a "safe port" away from the constant noise of the digital world. Inside this clip: The Future's Verdict: Why our 10-hour-a-day screen habits will likely be viewed as a historical anomaly. The Evolutionary Gap: Moving from the era of physical mail to the "always-on" culture of 2026. Mental Health & Music: How setting down the phone is often the first step toward finding a creative "suit of armor." 🎸 ORDER THE NEW ALBUM: Keep Out of the Storm is available now at thesheepdogs.com Follow The Sonic Road Podcast on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook & X: @thesonicroad Subscribe on Youtube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts: https://linktr.ee/thesonicroad
