Audio Books are a great way to learn ~ or relax. Discover how easily they can be downloaded and carried. They are easily downloaded to CD, MP3 or iPod and carrried effortlessly anywhere we go. Whether we get stuck in traffic jams, or waiting at airports or just while waiting for trains or buses ~ Learning History is one way we can all learn and try not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. The books of the Bible are great inspiration for personal philosophies which we can incorporate into our lives. All of this information can now be found in these audio books. History is past and we can't do anything except learn about that; the future is what we make it based on the decisions we make today so that is why today is called "the present" because it needs to be our gift to ourselves! Technology has come a long way since the days of quill and ink.  Remember when we were in primary school and someone had the job each week of cleaning and filling the ink wells? I remember too vividly. The boys inkwells were always stuffed with rolled up blotting paper ready to tear off to flick at us girls! Dreadful job! A good reason to stay out of the Teachers ‘Bad book’ because that was always a favourite punishment meted out to misbehaved children. Now we have whole books of what was once printed pages stuffed into small items capable of carrying any number of previously large and heavy books; and we don’t even have to read them ~ they are read to us.  Is this what was once known as ‘second childhood’? If it is, I’m all for it. “Bring it on" as the kids today say so eloquently.
