Welcome New Un-affiliated
Member Adrian
Schmidt
Adrian
Schmidt was
born in Bahia
Blanca,
Argentina, and
he studied
Electronic
Engineering
at the University of Buenos Aires,
graduating
with honors.
Near the end
of his
studies, he
started working for the National Justice
Department as
the Head of
Software
Development to
develop a system connecting multiple
registries
across
Argentina via
satellite
connections.
In spite of
this project never being completed
(because of
the lack of
support by
government
authorities),
it fostered his passion with
communication
technologies.
After this,
Adrian
continued his
career in Information Technology (IT)
working as a
public
advocate in
Argentina.
Then, after
working for some time as an entrepreneur in
southern
Argentina, he
became the IT
director of
River Plate Adventist University, located in
the province
of Entre Rios.
In 2005,
Adrian moved
with his
family to the Philippines, earning his
MBA while
working as IT
director in a
Higher
Learning
institution (AIIAS). Adrian then moved to
Canada in
2008, where he
set down roots
in Lacombe,
AB, working as a Servers and Network
Administrator
at Burman
University.
His passions
continue to be: networking and internet
technologies,
learning ways
to improve and
secure
networks, and
using
his knowledge
and expertise
to create
positive
change in the
world.

Great
Social Media
Resource
Lots of great
shows over the
year on
relevant
Internet and
Social Media
trends
However,
the problem
lies in that
when we think
of people to
compare
ourselves to,
we tend to
think of
people who
have very
active social
lives.
"When
they start
thinking about
other people,
they don't
start thinking
about random
other people,"
Sebastian
says.
"The
people who
come easiest
to mind are
the people who
are most
social, and
those people
are not
representative
in terms of
how peoples'
social lives
are.
However,
nearly
everyone
thinks like
that, and
"obviously
that can't be
true."
Social
media likely
tends to
exacerbate
this way of
thinking, he
adds, because
people tend to
post images of
themselves in
fun social
situations.
Sebastian
says that
there is a
certain logic
to this
thinking: when
we compare
ourselves to
other peoples'
cooking
ability, we
also tend to
think of
people who are
good cooks and
not people who
sit around
eating Ramen
noodles.
He
says the idea
of comparing
your social
lives with
other people
isn't really a
good measure
of happiness.
"I
think you
should take a
more absolute
perspective.
'Am I getting
what I want,
am I happy?'
It's not
useful in this
case to see
how many
follower you
have compared
to Kim
Kardashian.

either based
on existing
best

on processes
that have been
adapted from
comparable
procedures
already in
existence
elsewhere
within ICANN.
The draft has
been prepared
taking into
account best
practices from
past and
current
reviews, and
community
input received
throughout
several public
consultations.
