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
=======
This article is about the Timex Computer 2048 (TC 2048). For the similarly named but different ZX Spectrum-variant prototype intended for sale in North America, see Timex Sinclair 2048 (TS 2048).The TC-2048 or Timex Computer 2048 is a 1984 computer created by "Timex North American, Lda", a branch of Timex Corporation.
It was based on the Timex Sinclair 2048 prototype, a 16k version of the TS-2068, with a similar redesign case, Kempston joystick interface and additional video modes.It was highly compatible with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer, although differences in the ROM prevented 100% compatibility.Timex Portugal sold the TC 2048 in Portugal and Poland, where it was very successful, selling more than 10000 units.
Also, a NTSC version was sold in Chile.
This computer forms the basis of an improved Spectrum-compatible machine, the Spectrum SE.
Two modifications of the TC2048 exist: the TC2128 (by STAVI) and the TC2144 (by Jarek Adamski).
Both extend the RAM to 128K and upgrade the ULA to use four screen areas.
