Rene decided to have one of his informal study groups help him with these questions.
Here is a summary of what they came up with.
Rene is both a people person and a “techie.” He really enjoys interacting with others and
seeks out groups. He is often seen in the computer labs as well as the student center and
rarely working on his own in his room or in the library. He loves conversations about the
latest invention. For example, he recently had a long conversation about a high-tech
pen that he saw advertised—what someone writes on special paper can
be transferred to a computer, along with audio files captured by
a microphone in the pen. He loves thinking of better ways to
explain technical things to his artistic friends and is often seen
helping someone out who has recently experienced the “dark
side” of technology.
All his friends agree that he would be great helping
bridge the gap between the technology
and the user. Information Technology or
Information Systems is a good fit for him.
