Luis the Automotive Shop Technician

Scan tool, a piece of tech commonly found in a shop

I asked my friend Luis who works in Arizona Western College as auto shop technician the same question I asked my friend Rosalio.  How do you feel about technology and whether it is beneficial or harmless to college students and why?  His answer to the first part of the question was that technology is good overall but that he mainly enjoyed using things like his phone, his Face book account and YouTube.  He then went on to say that he was not as interested in other things.  His response to the second part of the question was that it depends on the time and place technology is being used that determines whether it is beneficial or harmful.  I then followed up by asking him to explain what he meant.  What he said was “well technology is beneficial when AWC student are using it to do school work or checking their toromail for school news but is very harmful when students use it during school time where it becomes a distraction.  My next question to Luis was what kind of problems you have encountered since he has been working in the college.  He said that the main kind of technology related problems were mainly students asking him the year one of the shop cars was to look up information on a program called All Data or retrieving diagnostic trouble codes using a scan tool.  He said the second main problems he encountered around the shop was from students going to him saying that they could not find information they need on All Data.
