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 Way the World is Going is a 1928 nonfiction book written by British author H. G. Wells.
The book is a compilation of 26 articles and a lecture published in the United Kingdom and the United States throughout 1927.  The topics  range from politics to science and from social affairs to economics.  Originally published in the Sunday editions of prominent newspapers, the articles provided Wells with the best medium to air his social and political agendas.  In his opening notes to the book Wells expressed his frustration at the “editorial interference” that resulted in his work appearing only after, “suffering a certain amount of mutilation.” The articles are a mixture of predictions and commentary based on the science and politics of the time.
The book is similar to Wells' earlier 1925 work A Year of Prophesying.  Unlike this earlier work, The Way the World is Going is marked by both a dark disillusionment and decaying optimism over the state of the world at the time.
