A study found that reading comprehension on smart phones is much poorer than it is when one reads on actual paper. When they looked at people's breathing, the normal patterns of breathing that people were engaging in did not differ between people reading on a smart phone or reading from paper. However, one particular feature of breathing did differ. And that particular feature is what we call physiological size. People aren't aware that it's happening, but it's happening.
