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
=======
Seneca Glass Company Building is a historic glass factory located at Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia. It was built in 1896–1897, and is an industrial complex of work areas, all connected by doors, passageways, or bridges.  A fire in 1902, destroyed much of the interior of the original brick part of the complex.  After the fire, Elmer F. Jacobs designed the new two-story replacement, a new Needle Etching Room in a separate building connected by a bridge, and the reconstruction of the Grinding, Glazing, and Cutting areas. A large addition was built in 1947.  The building features a conical brick stack that projects 36 feet above the roofline of the Furnace / Blowing Room.  The complex was the home of one of the finest hand-blown, hand-cut and etched, lead glass factories in the world.  After the factory closed in 1983, it was adapted for commercial use.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
