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
=======
Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments (AREE) is a project to create a rover that uses Venus' harsh conditions to its advantage, controlled by a wind-powered mechanical computer. Venus' atmosphere is about 90 times denser than Earth's and heats to about 462 °C (864 °F), conditions which would prevent a standard electronic computer from operating for any significant period of time. While AREE was designed for operation on Venus, the rover's design could be re-purposed for use on Mercury, which has a comparably high surface temperature, on Jovian moons Europa or Io, where high radiation makes use of traditional electronics difficult, or on lava flows or highly radioactive areas on Earth.The project was first proposed in 2015. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory began seriously studying how AREE would operate in 2017.
