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.

With a population of 253,691 in the 2010 census, it is the second-most populous city in Indiana after Indianapolis, and the 75th-most populous city in the United States. It is the principal city of the Fort Wayne metropolitan area, consisting of Allen, Wells, and Whitley counties, a combined population of 419,453 as of 2011. Fort Wayne is the cultural and economic center of northeastern Indiana. The city is within a 200-mile (320 km) radius of major population centers, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Milwaukee.
In addition to the three core counties, the combined statistical area (CSA) includes Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, and Steuben counties, with an estimated population of 615,077.Fort Wayne was built in 1794 by the United States Army under the direction of American Revolutionary War general Anthony Wayne, the last in a series of forts built near the Miami village of Kekionga. Named in Wayne's honor, the European-American settlement developed at the confluence of the St. Joseph, St. Marys, and Maumee rivers as a trading post for pioneers. The village was platted in 1823 and underwent tremendous growth after completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal and advent of the railroad. Once a booming manufacturing town located in what became known as the Rust Belt, Fort Wayne's economy in the 21st century is based upon distribution, transportation and logistics, healthcare, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and financial services.

TOM1SM at the Fort Wayne Airport Aviation Museum - How Many Planes can they fit INSIDE an Airport?
Waiting in Ft. Wayne airport and I toured the aviation museum to find out, how many planes can really fit in an airport? Check out these great models and some great history (including a lost A-Bomb!).
Link to the museum's website:
Being an aviation nut myself I found this to be very interesting and well put together. I could not fit all of the great stuff they have on display into the video but I tried to hit the highlights, including the Airbus fleet, some original Delta air-frames and some great historical artifacts that I am surprised have even survived this long.
Take a trip through history and maybe learn a few facts along the way!
Models that saw combat in WWI and WWII are almost all represented in this collection as are several lesser known aircraft such as the Valkyrie and the B-36...a unique combination of turbo-props and jet engines combined into a single plane.
The official replica of the moon landing plaque reminded of my favorite (well...one of my favorite) stories about the first moon landing in that it almost ended in disaster with lunar module commander Mike Collins returning home alone. The Eagle (the moon landing module) experienced a malfunction and in a quick bit of thinking Buzz Aldrin was able to use a felt-tipped pen to re-seat a loose circuit board that allowed the lunar module to fire it's rockets and leave the moon. Would have been a horrible story to walk on the moon and leave our astronauts behind.
A-10 Warthogs, F-16's, 737's, 767's and even some original Delta signage and routes I've never heard of (because they were back in the 1930's!).
