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 necrobiome is the community of organisms associated with a decaying corpse as described in 2013 by Benbow et al. The term is often confused to be focused on only on the microbial component of the entire community of species that interact with a carcass, such as the insects and vertebrate scavengers. The process of decomposition is complex, and aside from microorganisms such as bacteria, other organisms help to decompose the cadaver including fungi, nematodes, and insects as well as larger scavenger animals. The process of decomposition is fundamental to the cycle of life.As death ensues, the microbial ecosystem that lived off the living organism collapses and, nourished by the decomposition, a new and changing microbial ecosystem establishes itself. It has been noted that there is first a shift from aerobic to anaerobic bacteria leading to putrefaction and bloating. A shift back to aerobic bacteria occurs in the abdominal cavity when it gets opened. Bacteria come from the body as well as the environment. It has been difficult to study the necrobiome as the vast majority of its bacteria do not grow well in the laboratory environment. Our understanding of naturally occurring necrobiomes is further complicated by the fact that different portions of a corpse may be in different stages of decomposition. However, the ability to apply advanced sequencing has helped researchers to investigate and monitor the necrobiome.The composition of the necrobiome appears to change in a predictable way representing “a microbial clock” —apparently regardless of season, species, or soil type. The speed of the decomposition is, however, temperature dependent.It has been suggested that the predictability of the sequence of changes of the necrobiome may be useful in forensics to help determine the time of death.
