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
=======
Lights out or lights-out manufacturing is a manufacturing methodology (or philosophy), rather than a specific process.
Factories that run lights out are fully automated and require no human presence on-site. Thus, these factories can run "with the lights off". Many factories are capable of lights-out production, but very few run exclusively lights-out. Typically, workers are necessary to set up tombstones that hold parts to be manufactured and remove completed parts. As the technology necessary for lights-out production becomes increasingly available, many factories are beginning to use lights-out production between shifts (or as a separate shift) to meet increasing demand or save money. An automatic factory is a place where raw materials enter and finished products leave with little or no human intervention.One of the earliest descriptions of the automatic factory in fiction was the 1955 short story "Autofac".
