EVERY new knowledge/experience can (should) enhance your
intelligence and hence your computer skill. Everybody has his own definition of intelligence, mine is : "Intelligence is the ability to find (hidden) relations between things to solve problems for which we haven't a known solution, usually by adapting a method used to solve a different problem." (I'm far from a philosopher or a knowledge engineer, sot my definition worths what it worths... ;-) So in this case EVERY new field of knowlegde/culture/encounter may increase your intelligence if you learn from it... It's not what you learn, but rather how what you learn could be "linked" to another field... (For example I remember I thought about packet routing, looking at ants !) Being a total geek I read almost only technical books. But I like when I can, to learn from totally unrelated field.
Note : Srange to see how my answer is similar to my previous one on another thread... "Only Bad Coders Code Badly In Perl" (OBC2BIP)
