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
=======
Known in Europe as the Mayer–Norton theorem, Norton's theorem holds, to illustrate in DC circuit theory terms (see that image):

Any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources and only resistances can be replaced at terminals A–B by an equivalent current source Ino in parallel connection with an equivalent resistance Rno.
This equivalent current Ino is the current obtained at terminals A-B of the network with terminals A-B short circuited.
This equivalent resistance Rno is the resistance obtained at terminals A-B of the network with all its voltage sources short circuited and all its current sources open circuited.For alternating current (AC) systems the theorem can be applied to reactive impedances as well as resistances.
The Norton equivalent circuit is  used to represent any network of linear sources and impedances at a given frequency.
Norton's theorem and its dual, Thévenin's theorem, are widely used for circuit analysis simplification and to study circuit's initial-condition and steady-state response.
Norton's theorem was independently derived in 1926 by Siemens & Halske researcher Hans Ferdinand Mayer (1895–1980) and Bell Labs engineer Edward Lawry Norton (1898–1983).To find the equivalent,

Find the Norton current Ino. Calculate the output current, IAB, with a short circuit as the load (meaning 0 resistance between A and B). This is Ino.
Find the Norton resistance Rno. When there are no dependent sources (all current and voltage sources are independent), there are two methods of determining the Norton impedance Rno.Calculate the output voltage, VAB, when in open circuit condition (i.e., no load resistor – meaning infinite load resistance). Rno equals this VAB divided by Ino.
or
Replace independent voltage sources with short circuits and independent current sources with open circuits. The total resistance across the output port is the Norton impedance Rno.This is equivalent to calculating the Thevenin resistance.

However, when there are dependent sources, the more general method must be used. This method is not shown below in the diagrams.
Connect a constant current source at the output terminals of the circuit with a value of 1 ampere and calculate the voltage at its terminals. This voltage divided by the 1 A current is the Norton impedance Rno. This method must be used if the circuit contains dependent sources, but it can be used in all cases even when there are no dependent sources.
