THE SFX AUTHOR INTERVIEW
AS AMILLENNIAL, TEMI OH CAN HARDLY remember a time when the internet wasn’t part of day to day life. However, she got a reminder last year when she and her husband went on holiday in Egypt, and the hotel Wi-Fi was at best limited. “I felt like every day time just moved unbearably slowly,” she says, “I felt like everyone I loved would forget about me.”
She’s exaggerating a little of course, but the joy of getting a slew of notifications when she went to the one spot in the lobby where she could get connectivity was real. “I felt this rush of delight. Then, five minutes later, I’d just be scrolling through Instagram and bored again.” No wonder she characterises her relationship with the digital world as “really strange”.
