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
=======
Software is programmed instructions stored in the memory of stored-program digital computers for execution by the processor.  Software is a recent development in human history, and fundamental to the Information Age.
Ada Lovelace's work for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 19th century is often considered the founding of the discipline, though both mathematicians' efforts remained theoretical only, as the technology of Babbage's day proved insufficient to build his computer. Alan Turing is credited with being the first person to come up with a theory for software in 1935, which led to the two academic fields of computer science and software engineering. 
The first generation of software for early stored program digital computers in the late 1940s had its instructions written directly in binary code, generally written for mainframe computers.  Later, the development of modern programming languages alongside the advancement of the home computer would greatly widen  the scope and breadth of available software, beginning with assembly language, and continuing on through functional programming and object-oriented programming paradigms.
