Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology, also known as the College of IST, opened in 1999 as the information school of The Pennsylvania State University. Headquartered at the University Park campus in University Park, Pennsylvania, the college’s programs are offered at 18 Penn State campus locations. Dr. Andrew Sears currently serves as the college’s dean.
The college focuses on the study of issues that exist at the intersection of information, technology, and people, and aims to educate students who can lead in the information age. Work in the college currently focuses on four major trends in education, research, and outreach: the internet of things; mobile computing and sensing; big data; and new forms of risk involving cyber insecurity and information privacy.
The College of IST is part of a group of i-Schools dedicated to advancing the information field. It currently offers four Bachelor of Science degrees; master’s and doctoral degrees; and several undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates through Penn State World Campus, the University’s online campus.
