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
=======
VLPC stands for visible-light photon counter and refers to a high quantum efficiency multi-photon counting detector which operates at visible wavelengths. The capability to count the exact number of photons that are detected is extremely important for QKD. The device has been used extensively in the central tracking detector of the D0 experiment, and for muon cooling studies for a muon collider (MICE).
