Facebook 優缺點

The Pros and Cons of Using Facebook (S.G. Gustafson)

Pros:

Allows users to connect with other users through networks and groups of like-minded individuals

Many of the newer "applications" feature games and quizzes that are entertaining and provide a fun way to keep in touch with friends

It's very easy to load a multitude of pictures to specified Facebook albums, sort of like Photobucket. You can "tag" your friends in these pictures, so that the pictures will show up on their Facebook profile.

You can also load videos and tag friends in them

Writing Facebook "Notes" and posting links enables users to express their thoughts and ideas, an idea that is somewhat similar to blogging

Privacy settings can be changed to "friends only," so that only those with your approval are allowed to view your profile.

Status updates are an easy way to let friends know what you're up to or what's on your mind

Users can communicate by posting a comment on another user's "wall," sending a private message or using an instant messenger feature.

Cons:

Even if profile privacy is restricted, it is still very easy for other people to access profiles. There is always the chance that a predator will find information and use it to cause harm. Many users fail to make use of privacy settings at all, leaving them that much more vulnerable to online predators.

Friends may tag you in pictures or videos that you'd rather not have others see. Perhaps you were pretty wild at the bars last night, or were even engaging in some illegal activities. If photos are posted up and you are tagged in them, chances are, a professor, employer or one of your parents will see these and not be ver y happy about it. There are many people who have not been hired because the employer did not like what they saw on the applicant's Facebook profile, or the photos their friends put up. Just because you use discretion on your profile doesn't mean your friends will, so it's important to monitor your Facebook pictures and un-tag any that look like they could cause problems.

Facebook wastes a ton of time. It can be pretty addicting, like any website, so make sure you set a time-limit for how long you can spend on the website, or you won't accomplish anything. And if you're using the computer for schoolwork, avoid Facebook at all costs, it's one of the best procrastination tools out there.

Your parents or other relatives might get Facebook profiles, in which case you're pretty much obliged to accept them as friends. There are few things more annoying than knowing that your mom is constantly "Facebook stalking" you, listening to her ask about every single piece of information you posted to your profile, or answering questions about the pictures you were tagged in.

Aromatherapy (Wikipedia)

 

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health.

Some essential oils such as tea tree[1] have demonstrated anti-microbial effects, but there is still a lack of clinical evidence demonstrating efficacy against bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Evidence for the efficacy of aromatherapy in treating medical conditions remains poor, with a particular lack of studies employing rigorous methodology,[2] but some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential.[3]

Many such oils are described by Dioscorides, along with beliefs of the time regarding their healing properties, in his De Materia Medica, written in the first century.[4] Distilled essential oils have been employed as medicines since the invention of distillation in the eleventh century,[5] when Avicenna isolated essential oils using steam distillation.[6]

The concept of aromatherapy was first mooted by a small number of European scientists and doctors, in about[weasel words] 1907. In 1937, the word first appeared in print in a French book on the subject: Aromathérapie: Les Huiles Essentielles, Hormones Végétales by René-Maurice Gattefossé, a chemist. An English version was published in 1993.[7] In 1910, Gattefossé burned a hand very badly and later claimed he treated it effectively with lavender oil.[8]

A French surgeon, Jean Valnet, pioneered the medicinal uses of essential oils, which he used as antiseptics in the treatment of wounded soldiers during World War II.[9]
