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 American Bank Note Company Printing Plant is a repurposed printing plant in the Hunts Point section of The Bronx, New York City that is occupied by a business incubator. The building was built in 1909 by the American Bank Note Company, which occupied it until 1985. In addition to printing paper documents, stamps, and currency, the plant also minted coins, and was thus known by local area residents as The Penny Factory.The building has subsequently changed hands several times, undergone a series of renovations, and been granted landmark status.  It now houses a business incubator and serves as one of the cornerstones for a revitalization of the Hunts Point area. It is one of two structures in the city built by the American Bank Note Company in the early 20th century.  The other, the American Bank Note Company Building in Manhattan's Financial District, housed the corporate offices.The building occupies the block bordered by Garrison Avenue, Tiffany Street, Lafayette Avenue, and Barretto Street. The block is roughly pentagonal, with Barretto curving to form two sides.
