Veterinarians use a wide range of technology, including diagnostic equipment such as blood chemistry analyzers and radiograph machines, therapeutic equipment including nebulizers and IV fluid flow controllers, and management equipment such as computers and smartphones.
Technology has already impacted veterinary medicine in a variety of ways - there are more advanced diagnostic imaging techniques available including MRI and CT, laser surgical tools have been developed for private practices and there are several new drugs and vaccines that have come onto the market in the last ten years.

Iowa State University has a College of Veterinary Medicine to train veterinarians, but no veterinary technology program to train veterinary technicians. Therefore, no, you cannot become a veterinary technician (technologist) if you attend Iowa State University.
The requirements for becoming a veterinary technician vary from state to state based upon the laws governing the practice of veterinary medicine and/or veterinary technology. However in many most states where there are actually requirements to be a "veterinary technician" you must be a graduate of an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited college degree program in veterinary technology, have passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam and have passed a state exam.
