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
=======
John Todd (born 1939) is a biologist working in the general field of ecological design. 
He addresses problems of food production and wastewater processing by using ecosystems technologies that incorporate plants, animals and bacteria.  Todd has developed "Arks" or "bioshelters", ecologically closed  "life-support systems" with the goal of sustainable functioning. He combines alternative technologies for renewable energy, organic farming, aquaculture, hydroponics and architecture to create "living machines"
or "eco-machines".John Todd is a co-founder with Nancy Jack Todd of the non-profits New Alchemy Institute (1969-1991) and Ocean Arks International (1981),
and the founder and president of the design and engineering firm John Todd Ecological Design Inc. (1989).
A research professor emeritus and distinguished lecturer at the University of Vermont,
Todd has published books on ecological design, as well as over 200 scientific papers, popular articles and essays.
