Listening and Learning
by Malayna
We spend so much of our time traveling these days, whether it's the daily commute or long distance travel. Rather than becoming frustrated about the time we think we're losing, we can make the most of it by listening to something that can enrich our minds as we go. You can pop a CD into your car stereo or download a book to an mp3 player or ipod and experience the wait as extra time for you.
Sounds True has a wide range of audio programs on spiritual topics to enlighten and expand your mind. You can get academic lectures to brush up on those forgotten or never attempted subjects at The Teaching Company or The Great Lecture Library. Language courses are available for download at both Squidoo.com and Loquella.com, while Audible.com has what used to be known as "books on tape", but since cassettes are going the way of the dodo, they shall heretofore to be known as "audiobooks".
If you are on a train, plane or other mode of transportation that doesn't require your attention to operate and navigate, you can always catch up on the latest film releases to DVD on a portable DVD player or your laptop. Many cell phones these days allow you to download and view video content as well. You Tube offers a bit of anything and everything, while both the Discovery and National Geographic channels offer DVDs and downloads to expand your horizon beyond what you can see in your immediate surroundings.
Let technology work for you to help make potential times of frustration into opportunities for education and enlightenment.
