2 Key events in my life :

1. Purchased an iPhone1 10 years ago - changed my career & life.

2 Purchased a Nokia 3310 1 month ago - suddenly, the physical world around me has expanded. I feel I just woke up after 10 years.

  'physical world around me has expanded'
care to elaborate?
Taking a walk to the park without the iPhone takes longer, because you are forced to spend attention on everything but the phone. Distance = speed x time. If perceived time goes up; distances are greater. Ergo - world around you expands.
You can have a smart phone and not use it all the time. It's a matter of self control.
I assume he or she means that the world seems bigger as they're viewing it / paying attention more than if they were looking at their smart phone.
