On the eShelf: The Science and Art of Listening




By Morgan Scherrer

The Science and Art of Listening
After reading the Long article about not just hearing sounds but listening, it is amazing to know the complete difference between the two.   Sitting causally in a room in your house you might hear a dog bark or a car go by maybe the hmmmmm sound of the computer running.  When you actually listen to the sounds there is more to it than just noise, for example your dog doesn’t bark just to bark they have a reason behind their barking.  They could be saying they are hungry or want to go outside, maybe there is a rabbit that they are ready to pounce on at any second.   Next time you are bored out of your mind and sitting at home listen to the sounds that are happening around you, not just the noise itself, and comprehend what is going on.
