TOPIC: ISSUE4 - "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."

The study of a certain field will usually be entangled in a deadlock when it has developed to a comparatively high level, for the situation becomes more and more intricate and narrow as the field progresses. At such times, the knowledge and experience brought about by people who was not in the certain circle always inspire this field.
As a subject or an industry has solved myriad problems which are previously extant and serious, it always loss its goal and feels confused which area should itself devote to, just as it did in the software industry. In the 1970s, the software had begun to suffer from a severe predicament. Although the industry had already made complex codes, which can solve the problems in natural science, army, and so forth, and are already nearly to the extreme of human, it still could not serve the society problems at a systematic level. At such time, the accomplishment of the management and information had been introduced to the software industry, which cultivated the whole industry's conception and then successfully guided it get out of the deadlock. Consequentially, the software nowadays can provide much wider services which nearly cover every field of our daily life at a systematic level, than it could in the 1970s. It is not difficult to imagine that, without the introduction of the management and information technology, the software industry cannot stand at a higher status to view what they could do for the whole society, and thus the indispensable progress can hardly been made. As a certain industry becomes mature, its potential always cannot be easily unearthed by the members who are confined in the field, usually with the help provided by experts from other fields can they find their way to progress.
In terms of art or literature, such assertion is still correct. The spirits of nearly every field of art are the same--to express the emotion of the author of masterpieces. Jicai Feng, a Chinese writer, once said that he really understands the inner and profound significance of novels only after he began to learn painting. In his opinion, when he is painting, he can experience the spirit and thought of the people from another angel--the visual, which is totally different from the literal one. Though the methods are different, these two can both reveal the inner thoughts of people. From the experiences of being a painter, Jicai Feng has broadened his horizon which significantly inspires his potential ability on writing. Such evidence can be easily found in art field.
Admittedly, too much outside information invaded a certain area can prohibit this area from concentrating to its own issues or problems. For those physical scientists, like Einstein, Feynman and Hawking, they simply can utilize their imagination to reveal the hidden regulations of the miraculous world and then establish the abstract theory alone, without any help from other field, for their study can hardly be related with other subjects. In such cases, information from other is actually troubling them rather than provide them any help.
In summary, the author's assertion is generally reasonable and should be accepted by nearly all the members of a certain field, except for those who are in the circle which are separated too seriously with other fields.
