Nowadays, the study of history benefits different fields. And some of the studies are concerned with our daily lives-the material world environing us. Undoubtedly, these studies contribute a lot to the important of our daily lives. However, the importance of them is more than that.
 
Obviously, our daily life has been more convenient and efficient that ever, which can be partly attributed to the study of history.  The achievements earned by the professionals of computer science can appropriately prove the statement. As computer itself and some other items affiliate to it have greatly assist people to shorten their time cost on such stuffs as shopping, communicating, as well as searching for the information, the development of computer science has played more important a role on our daily life. And the refresh and innovation of if depend largely on the experts' continuous studying of the history of computer and the knowledge provided by their harbinger. These works enlarges their understanding of this rapidly-changed field and inspire them to research more for its development. As for the work of a programmer, his intention of updating an existed program widely used by people can only be realized by thoroughly investigating the development history of the program and some other programs relevant to it. The study of their history pave the programmer the way to find out the bugs and defects of the program then updates it.   
 
However, the function of the study of the history seems not to disappear when it comes to the development of the realms other than our daily life. The scientific theories can reveal the natural principles behind some natural phenomenon, providing humanities a better understanding of the world we live, but the significance of it improving our material lives is limited. The principles play more of guidance for the exploring of the nature than an entrance to a more efficient and convenient material world, thus the value of the principles should never be overlooked by us. For example, the work of the astronomers is to discover the secrets of the universe, then to present to the world of the truth they found to satisfy humanity’s desire of having a deeper insight into the origin and evolution of the universe and earth involved in it. For achieving the goal, the scientist can impossibly avoid studying the formation of the history through mining the data of the universe recorded by ancient astronomers and the theories proposed by them.
 
And for the improvement of philosophy, a subject concentrating on the spiritual world, the study of history is of great importance all the same. The philosopher has to read many philosophic scriptures before forming his own system to meliorate the spiritual world of human beings. Almost every prominent philosopher have a good knowledge of Socrates, Plato, Aristoteles and their works, because they lay the very foundation of the philosophy and defined what philosophy is. Without the study of the history, the philosophers will have difficulty in taking one step further of their field. And the spiritual world will not keep up with the booming material world, resulting in many severe problems between individuals, societies and nations to be unsolved.
 
With only identifying the value of study of history concerning our daily lives, the society will possibly incline to emphasize overwhelmingly on these studies, ignore the importance of the studies serving some other fields. And the sequent stagnancy of such behaviors as researching the universe and exploring the spiritual word is a great loss to the man-kind. Therefore, the value of the study of history should not only embrace our daily lives, but also the theoretic scientific research and the spiritual world.
